Abstract
Background: Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) has been a shared treating option in cautiously selected hydro-cephalus-cases. The success or potential outcomes of its utilization in hydro-cephalus treatment may be expected using a pre-operative scoring tool. An instance of such a tool is the ETV-success scoring (ETVSS). Aim of The Study: we aim to assess ETVSS as a pre-operative prognostic device in hydro-cephalus-kids who met the criteria of inclusion for ETV operation. Patients and Methods: We conducted a prospective hospital-based research on 68-children of ages Results: the mean predicted ETVSS from this study was 49.2 ± 18.6 with a mean SS of 53%. Conclusion: The estimate of ETV success and nonsuccess is probable nowadays for immediate success and with further involvement may be utilized as a long-term outcomes gauge.
