Fungal Granuloma following Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy for Infantile Hydrocephalus

Journal Title: Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal - Year 2013, Vol 13, Issue 1

Abstract

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is increasingly being used in the treatment of hydrocephalus in infancy. Infective complications rarely occur following ETV and fungal infections or granulomas have not been reported so far. Te authors report the occurrence and management of a fungal granuloma incidentally detected during a repeat ventriculoscopy for a non-functioning ETV.
