Hydrocephalus Program - Stanford Medicine Children's Health

About

A new approach to hydrocephalus treatment called endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) deploys innovative surgical tools to liberate the natural flow of CSF throughout the central nervous system and, in some cases, to reduce the amount of fluid produced. This new technique, pioneered here at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford, is safe and effective, and it avoids many of the risks associated with the traditional approach.
