Abstract Introduction - For many years, internal derivations by implantation of shunts have been the only treatment for hydrocephalus but also the subject of many complications, which has led the neurosurgeon to develop endoscopic surgery, especially endoscopic third ventriculostomie and choroid plexus coagulation. Materials and methods - The objective of our work is to report the experience of the Neurosurgery Department of Oran university hospital in the treatment of pediatric hydrocephalus by endoscopic surgery, through a retrospective study, conducted from October 1st, 2015 to September 30th, 2016. Results - We performed 67 endoscopic procedures in 63 patients under the age of 15 years, four of whom were operated on twice. The average age of our patients was 20.38 +/- 3.6 months with a slight female predominance (3 girls for 2 boys) and 75% malformations. We identified 17 complications in the immediate postoperative, represented by seizures (15%), subdural collections (6%), cerebrospinal fluid fistulas through the scalp scar (3%) and infectious complications (1%). The success rate of endoscopic treatment of hydrocephalus in our series was 74.62%. We lamented two deaths (3%). Conclusion - Endoscopic surgery presents few complications. It represents an effective alternative for the treatment of pediatric hydrocephalus.
