Entrapped temporal horn (ETH) is a complication following resection of ventricular trigone tumors. It is a special localized hydrocephalus. Obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid outflow following resection of ventricular trigone tumors leads to dilation of the temporal horn and the production of the local space-occupying effect. This article presents two cases of ETH following the resection of ventricular trigone tumors. Our Intraventricular shunt is an effective treatment that uses a T-connector to connect a reservoir with two catheters. We presented temporal-frontal horn shunt and trigone-front horn shunt. A patient presented with ETH shunt dependency. Our intraventricular shunt surgery achieved a good prognosis.
