Endoscopy in Intracranial Pathology
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of endoscopy in intracranial pathology may be divided into two main subsets of procedures. The first subset entails the use of the endoscope in the management and treatment of intracranial intra-ventricular pathologies such as hydrocephalus, arachnoid cysts, and intra-ventricular tumors. The second includes trans-nasal and sinus endoscopy to manage mostly pituitary tumors, and other skull base pathologies, in addition to endoscope assisted microsurgery. This chapter, thus, will be divided into two parts to shed light on these two main endoscopic techniques used in intracranial pathologies.
