Endoscopic Ventricular Lavage in Pediatric Pyogenic Cerebral Ventriculitis Associated with Shunt: Outcomes and Technical Notes

Endoscopic Ventricular Lavage in Pediatric Pyogenic Cerebral Ventriculitis Associated with Shunt: Outcomes and Technical Notes

Pyogenic cerebral ventriculitis (PCV) is a rare infectious entity characterized by a potent inflammatory reaction of the ventricular ependyma, which in most cases leads to death. We aim to present the technical note and protocol, based on our center's 10-year experience of the use of endoscopic...

Zusammenfassung:Pyogenic cerebral ventriculitis (PCV) is a rare infectious entity characterized by a potent inflammatory reaction of the ventricular ependyma, which in most cases leads to death. We aim to present the technical note and protocol, based on our center's 10-year experience of the use of endoscopic ventricular lavage (EVL) in pediatric patients with PCV and ventricular peritoneal shunt. For this study, all pediatric patients (
