A morphologic study of the transcallosal-interventricular foramen approach in endoscopic third ventriculostomy with magnetic resonance imaging.
There is a very wide range of applications in neurosurgery for the treatment of obstructive hydrocephalus by third ventriculostomy. To facilitate the operation, we measured the related data of transcallosal-interventricular foramen approach in endoscopic third ventriculostomy with the magnetic resonance images of the third ventricle from 103 healthy adults. We calculated the mean and standard deviation as well as the 95% confidence interval for the mean value of the measured data, which conformed to normal distribution. We used median and interquartile range to show its concentration and the level of variation when it does not.
