Fact Sheet: Endoscopic Third VentriculostomyIn Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy , a small perforation is made in the thinned floor of the Third ventricle, allowing movement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) out of the blocked ventricular system and into the interpenducular cistern (a normal CSF space). Cerebrospinal fluid within the ven-tricle is thus diverted elsewhere in an attempt to bypass an obstruction in the aqueduct of Sylvius and thereby relieve pressure. The objective of this procedure, called an intracranial CSF diver-sion, is to normalize pressure on the brain without using a shunt.
