Radiological findings in relation to the neurodevelopmental outcome in hydrocephalic children treated with shunt insertion or endoscopic third ventriculostomy

Purpose The aim of the study was to compare the radiological indicators of effectiveness for hydrocephalus treatment in children operated on under the third year of age with the use of shunt insertion (SI) and endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV). The effectiveness was considered in terms of postoperative neurodevelopment in correlation to pre- and postoperative radiological findings.
