 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 13 Endoscopic and hydrocephalus [Keywords:] Hydrocephalus; neuroendoscope; Endoscopic Technology The treatment of hydrocephalus remains a problem, but neuroendoscopy have certain advantages in this regard. Endoscopic surgical treatment of hydrocephalus are: choroid plexus ablation, the end of the third ventricle fistula drainage, aqueductal plasty, transparent compartment PEG, foramen angioplasty, the middle of the fourth ventricle Kong plasty, etc.. In this paper, for centuries, Endoscopic treatment of hydrocephalus and neurological development of endoscopic treatment of hydrocephalus as a brief overview of future trends. 1 Hydrocephalus Hydrocephalus is due to various causes excessive secretion of cerebrospinal fluid, loop obstruction or malabsorption caused by excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. Its location in the brain often occurs indoors, but also involving the subarachnoid space. Hydrocephalus is generally divided into: (1) non-communicating hydrocephalus (obstructive hydrocephalus): As the CSF from the ventricles to the subarachnoid space caused by the cycle path blocked. (2) communicating hydrocephalus (non-obstructive hydrocephalus): cerebrospinal fluid malabsorption. Pathophysiology of hydrocephalus research into people’s awareness about hydrocephalus and optimize the treatment program to raise awareness of the surgery. Usually, we use the ventricular shunt for treatment of hydrocephalus patients, however, shunt complications were more common, such as infection, shunt obstruction, craniosynostosis, fissure syndrome, skin ulceration, epilepsy, intestinal perforation, intra-abdominal pseudo - cyst, thrombophlebitis Yandeng. These complications, most still require surgery and may result in higher mortality. 2 neuroendoscope First appeared in a neuroendoscope a century ago, however, subject to technical constraints at that time, nerve endoscopic technical operations is very immature, and subsequent tec
