Study of Choroid Plexus Cauterization in Patients With Hydrocephalus

NCT02900222 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 1

Last updated 2021-06-11

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether endoscopic choroid plexus coagulation is safe in adult patients with communicating hydrocephalus and risk factors for complications from the standard surgical treatment. It may also help determine whether the endoscopic choroid plexus coagulation is effective in treating your communicating hydrocephalus. The Investigators hope that this research will allow us to place fewer shunts in patients with conditions similar to yours, avoiding complications.

Conditions

  • Hydrocephalus

Interventions

PROCEDURE

endoscopic choroid plexus coagulation

A burr hole will be made over the frontal lobe of the brain. An endoscope will be introduced into the ventricle of the brain and the choroid plexus coagulated with an electrocautery device. The septum pellucidum separating the right and left lateral ventricles will be opened, and the choroid plexus on the opposite side coagulated as well.
