Ventriculostomy

Ventriculostomy

Ventriculostomy is a neurosurgical procedure primarily used to alleviate increased intracranial pressure (ICP) within the brain. It involves the insertion of a small, flexible catheter into one of the brain's ventricles, typically the lateral ventricles. These ventricles are fluid-filled spaces that produce and circulate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) throughout the brain and spinal cord. The catheter is carefully guided through a small hole drilled in the skull and is connected to an external drainage system. By accessing the ventricular system, excess CSF can be drained, helping to regulate intracranial pressure and prevent potential damage to delicate brain tissue caused by the pressure build-up. This procedure is commonly used in conditions such as hydrocephalus, traumatic brain injury, intracranial hemorrhage, or other situations where there's an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid. Ventriculostomy serves both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, allowing doctors to monitor CSF pressure and, if necessary, control it by draining excess fluid. While ventriculostomy can be effective in managing intracranial pressure, it also carries risks of complications, including bleeding, infection, or damage to surrounding brain structures. Therefore, it's crucially performed under precise surgical conditions by skilled neurosurgeons and requires careful monitoring post-procedure to ensure optimal outcomes for the patient's neurological health.
