Abstract

Catheterization of the Sylvian aqueduct is an elective technique for the surgical treatment of syringomyelia with Chiari's defect. It completes efficiently the decompression of the defect and makes possible exclusion of the IV th. ventricle and of the ependymal orifice of the syringomyelic cavity. The operative results appear thus more regular and more stable than those obtained with simple decompression. Intubation of the aqueduct has opportune indications in the treatment of tumors of the P.C.F. in the case of incomplete exeresis or when a secondary blockade of the spinal fluid is to be feared. Intubation of the aqueduct constitutes a useful complement for those patients treated during childhood for hydrocephalon with sylviduct stenosis and that evidence lately a poor functioning of the ventricular tube with ventricles exhibiting a reduced volume and hypereacute accidents of intra-cranial hypertension.
