No results posted yet for this study

Summary

An endoscopic third ventriculostomy is considered to be successful in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) in some literature reports, but there is a lack of high quality data. The aim of the present study is to compare the treatment options of iNPH (Endoscopic third ventriculostomy versus ventriculo-peritoneal shunt) in a randomized, controlled, multicenter study.
