RESUMEN
Diffuse infiltrating low-grade gliomas include oligodendrogliomas and astrocytomas, and account for about 5% of all primary brain tumors. Treatment strategies for these low-grade gliomas in adults have recently changed. The 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) classification has updated the definition of these tumors to include their molecular characterization, including the presence of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation and 1p/19p codeletion. In this new classification, the histologic subtype of grade II-mixed oligoastrocytoma has also been eliminated. The precise optimal management of patients with low-grade glioma after resection remains to be determined. The risk-benefit ratio of adjuvant treatment must be weighed for each individual (AU)

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is widely used as an alternative technique for hydrocephalus treatment. ETV success or failure may be influenced by numerous factors. In this study, we have analyzed preoperative and intraoperative risk factors and suggest an intraoperative scale to predict etV failure. Fifty-one patients (27 adults and 24 children) underwent an etV at Carlos Haya University Hospital, Malaga. Intraoperative video records were assessed and the following intraoperative findings were recorded: (1) abnormal ventricular anatomy, (2) intraoperative incident, (3) Liliequist membrane opening in a second endoscopic maneuver, (4) thickened or scarred membranes in the subarachnoid space, (5) absence or "weakness" of pulsation of third ventricle floor at etV completion, and (6) floppy premammillary membrane that needs edge coagulation. An intraoperative scale ranging from 0 to 6 points was performed. A significant relation was found between a higher result on the prognosis scale and etV failure (p < 0.0001). An absence or weakness of pulsation of the third ventricle floor at etV completion was significantly related to etV failure (p < 0.0001). The presence of thickened or scarred membranes in the subarachnoid space was significantly related to etV failure (p < 0.04) as well as the Liliequist membrane opening in a second endoscopic maneuver (p < 0.008). Intraoperative factors should be taken into account for prediction of etV success. More studies with larger case series are needed to determine the influence of all intraoperative factors over etV success.
