چکیده
We present an overview of the history, development, technological advancements, current application, and future trends of cranial endoscopy. Neuroendoscopy provides a safe and effective management modality for the treatment of a variety of intracranial disorders, either tumoral or non-tumoral, congenital, developmental, and degenerative, and its knowledge, indications, and limits are fundamental for the armamentarium of the modern neurosurgeon.

Background: Neuroendoscopic system is the best choice for detection and assessment of intracranial cysts and intraventricular tumors and cysts. There are some reasons and features for neuroendoscopy to be the number-one option for these dysfunctions such as entrapment of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inside the arachnoid cysts, location of intraventricular tumors within the CSF, and generally any v...
متن کاملMicrosurgical Treatment of Intraventricular Cavernoma with Prior Planning Neuroendoscopy
Microsurgery remains the gold standard treatment for intraventricular lesions, but it is not without limitations. The cerebral ventricles approach is considered a challenge for neurosurgeons because of their deep location and their intimate association with critical areas of the brain. It has been shown that direct endoscopic view is superior to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying i...

Hydrocephalus is treated with different types of shunts. With the advent of neuroendoscopy, hydrocephalus is being frequently managed by making third ventriculostomy. By this, obstructed ventricles are bypassed and CSF is diverted into pre-pontine cistern. Intraventricular tumors are being operated with craniotomy and transcortical transventricular or transcallosal approach to the tumors.1 Thes...

Neuroendoscopic surgery is performed because it causes minimal damage to normal structures, carries a lower rate of complications, and achieves excellent outcomes. Surgeons using an endoscope and related instruments can perform complex operations through very small incisions, which is especially useful for minimally invasive procedures for the brain and spine. Neuroendoscopic surgery is now per...

I read with interest the paper entitled, “Perioperative complications of intraventricular neuroendoscopy: a 7-year experience” by Ganjoo et al (3). They reviewed perioperative complications in patients who had undergone elective neuroendoscopic surgery. The intraoperative complications were as follows: tachycardia, bradycardia, hypertension and bleeding. Hypothermia, delayed awakening and elect...
