Endoscopic aqueductoplasty has shown good results for restoring CSF flux between the third and fourth ventricles. However, it needs some grade of ventricular dilation to be performed. Some patients affected by IFV show slit-ventricle morphology in CT/MRI. Usually, the rise of opening pressure or the shunt externalization gets enough ventricular dilation. However, the lack of intracranial compliance in some patients makes these options unsuitable and high-ICP symptoms are developed without ventricular dilation. [Methods] We present a two cases series affected by IFV with no ventricular dilation in radiological exams. ICP sensors were implanted, observing high-ICP and establishing the diagnosis of craniocerebral disproportion. A two-stage surgical plan based on a dynamic cranial expansion followed by a supratentorial endoscopic aqueductoplasty was performed. A physical and mathematical model explaining our approach was also provided. [Results] Chess-table cranial expansion technique was performed in both patients. Six/seven days after the first surgery, respectively, ventricular dilation was observed in CT. Endoscopic precoronal aqueductoplasty was then performed. No postoperative complications were described. IFV symptoms improved in both patients. Eighteen and 12 months after the two-stage surgical plan, the patients remain symptom-free and void of flow is still observed between the third and the fourth ventricles in MRI. [Conclusion] The two-stage approach was a suitable option for the treatment of these complex patients affected by both craniocerebral disproportion and isolated fourth ventricle. |
