Bedside iohexol ventriculography for patients with obstructive colloid cysts: a protocol to identify auto-fenestration of the septum pellucidum

Patients with hydrocephalus secondary to third ventricular colloid cysts may require bilateral external ventricular drain (EVD) placement while awaiting surgery. However, some patients may develop auto-fenestration of the septum pellucidum (AFSP) and only require 1 EVD. We evaluated our experience with bedside iohexol ventriculography and staged EVD placement for patients with obstructive hydrocephalus.
