Traditionally, these techniques have not been used in patients with small ventricles due to the perceived risk of greater morbidity. The authors review their experience with the effectiveness and safety of endoscopic brain tumor management in children with small ventricles.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n Between July 2002 and December 2009, 24 children with endoscopically managed brain tumors were identified. Radiological images were reviewed by a radiologist blinded to study goals and clinical setting. Patients were categorized into small-ventricle and ventriculomegaly groups based on frontal and occipital horn ratio. Surgical success was defined a priori and analyzed between groups. Trends were identified in selected subgroups, including complications related to pathological diagnosis and surgeon experience.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Six children had small ventricles and 18 had ventriculomegaly. The ability to accomplish surgical goals was statistically equivalent in children with small ventricles and those with ventriculomegaly (83% vs 89%, respectively, p = 1.00). There were no complications in the small-ventricle cohort, but in the ventriculomegaly cohort there were 2 cases of postoperative hemorrhages and 1 case of infection. All hemorrhagic complications occurred in patients with high-grade tumor histopathological type and were early in the surgeon's endoscopic career.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Based on our experience, endoscopy should not be withheld in children with intraventricular tumors and small ventricles. Complications appear to be more dependent on tumor histopathological type and surgeon experience than ventricular size.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2010.10.peds10338","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,31]],"date-time":"2010-12-31T09:36:41Z","timestamp":1293788201000},"page":"104-110","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Small-ventricle neuroendoscopy for pediatric brain tumor management"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Robert P.","family":"Naftel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Division of Neurosurgery, University of Alabama, Children's Hospital; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chevis N.","family":"Shannon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Division of Neurosurgery, University of Alabama, Children's Hospital; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gavin T.","family":"Reed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Division of Neurosurgery, University of Alabama, Children's Hospital; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Martin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Radiology, Children's Hospital, Birmingham, Alabama"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey P.","family":"Blount","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Division of Neurosurgery, University of Alabama, Children's Hospital; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.
