Endoscopic assisted posterior fossa decompression.

چکیده
Technical advances in neurosurgery follow a general philosophy favouring less invasive means of managing surgical disease. We describe a patient with a symptomatic type I Chiari malformation managed by posterior fossa decompression using endoscopic techniques. Technical considerations, including drawbacks of the procedure, are discussed.

Fully Endoscopic Microvascular Decompression: Our Early Experience
Background. Microvascular decompression (MVD) is a widely accepted treatment for neurovascular disorders associated with facial pain and spasm. The endoscope has rapidly become a standard tool in neurosurgical procedures; however, its adoption in lateral approaches to the posterior fossa has been slower. The endoscope is used primarily to assist conventional microscopic techniques. We are inter...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Microvascular decompression (MVD) of the trigeminal nerve is a widely accepted treatment for patients with trigeminal neuralgia caused by vascular compression. The neuroendoscope is rapidly becoming a complementary tool in minimally invasive neurosurgery of the ventral anterior skull base. Its adoption in the lateral approach to the posterior fossa has been slower and has been u...

Background : Our aim in this study was to recognize the endoscopic anatomy of the Pterygopalatine fossa (PPF) and the anatomic variations of the related neurovascular structures, to define the endoscopic endonasal approach to this region. Methods: In a case series study 17 fresh adult cadavers were studied by endoscopic endonasal approach. To reach the pterygopalatine fossa endonasally, we ...
متن کاملExtended Applications of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery to the Orbit and Pituitary Fossa
There has been significant evolution over time from external headlight sinus surgery to endoscopic sinus surgery(ESS). ESS was pioneered by Messenklinger, who discovered that the sinuses had a predetermined mucociliary clearance pattern towards the natural ostium irrespective of additional openings into the sinuses. This philosophy of opening the natural ostium of the diseased sinus was then po...
