Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Neuroendoscopy is a rapidly growing field, but the risk of intraventricular hemorrhage is signficant. There are few novel ways of obtaining hemostasis for major hemorrhage described in the literature. PATIENT: A 5-year-old boy with a history of intraventricular hemorrhage and multi-cystic hydrocephalus presented with worsening brainstem compression from dilation of a 4 (th) ventricle cyst.
RESULTS: During endoscopic surgery to fenestrate the cyst, arterial hemorrhage was emergently controlled with the hemostatic agent, FloSeal.
CONCLUSION: To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with intraoperative intraventricular hemorrhage controlled with FloSeal. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.
