Endoscopic third ventriculostomy was performed simultaneously when technically feasible (in 3 of 8 patients). Endoscopic management was considered successful if a shunt was not subsequently required. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Endoscopic management was successful in 4 of 8 patients (50%) who did not require a shunt over a median follow-up period of 15 months (range 2.5\u201324). Four patients (50%) failed endoscopic management and required a shunt 1 month to 11 weeks after endoscopic surgery. One patient died 4 days after shunt placement due to pneumonia and renal failure. Three of 4 patients who had a successful endoscopic procedure ultimately died of causes that were likely unrelated to hydrocephalus (pneumonia in 2 patients and sudden infant death syndrome in 1 patient). Besides failure to control hydrocephalus adequately in 4 patients, there were no additional complications noted after endoscopic surgeries. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Endoscopic choroid plexus coagulation can enable some infants with hydranencephaly or massive hydrocephalus to avoid a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000339850","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,23]],"date-time":"2012-07-23T08:28:11Z","timestamp":1343032091000},"page":"6-12","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Endoscopic Choroid Plexus Coagulation in Infants with Hydranencephaly or Hydrocephalus with a Minimal Cortical Mantle"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"David I.","family":"Sandberg","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Parthasarathi","family":"Chamiraju","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Garrett","family":"Zoeller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sanjiv","family":"Bhatia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Ragheb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000148224"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1227%2F01.NEU.0000290903.07943.AF"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00000658-191812000-00001"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000048370"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000028693"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1227%2F01.NEU.0000365264.99133.CA"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.clineuro.2007.11.011"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177%2F088307388900400207"}],"container-title":["Pediatric Neurosurgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/339850","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/339850","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T18:33:13Z","timestamp":1745433193000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000339850"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,16]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000339850","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1016-2291","1423-0305"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1016-2291","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-0305","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012]]}}}
