Upper Egypt first uses brain endoscopy to treat child hydrocephalus
A medical team at Asyut University Hospital successfully treated a 6-year-old girl suffering from hydrocephalus using advanced surgery that relies on neuroendoscopy. The procedure involved performing a third ventriculostomy (ETV) combined with choroid plexus cauterization (CPC). This was the first such operation in Upper Egypt utilizing this integrated technique, aimed at creating an alternative pathway for cerebrospinal fluid drainage and reducing its production. This approach has the potential to eliminate the need for traditional shunt placement and decrease long-term complications. The surgery was completed successfully, and the girl is currently under medical follow-up, reflecting positive developments in neurosurgery at university hospitals and the provision of advanced treatment services.
