Idiopathic bilateral stenosis of the foramina of Monro treated using endoscopic foraminoplasty and septostomy.

Stephen P Kalhorn1, Russell G Strom, David H Harter.   

Abstract

Hydrocephalus caused by stenosis of the foramen of Monro is rare. The authors describe a 28-year-old female patient with bilateral foraminal stenosis treated using endoscopic septostomy and unilateral foraminal balloon plasty (foraminoplasty). The patient's hydrocephalus and symptoms resolved postoperatively. Endoscopic strategies may be employed as first-line therapy in this condition.
