Endoscopic third ventriculostomy in posterior fossa tumor

Posterior fossa (PF) tumors are among the most frequent primary neoplasms in children. Proximity to the fourth ventricle, and therefore cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways, predisposes children with PF tumors to the development of obstructive hydrocephalus. Some patients with PF tumors require a perm...
