University of California study compare two types of treatment of hydrocephalus: placement of a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt versus an endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV). A second goal of this study will be to understand how the two different types of procedures, VP shunt versus ETV, affect brain blood flow and pressures.

For most children, a clear sign that a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is not working is a painful headache. Because Braden could not communicate his pain to me, I quickly had to learn to look for other symptoms.

Study to test and compare the efficacy of Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy with shunting of Cerbrospinal fluid (CSF) for treatment for patients of Normal pressure Hydrocephalus.
