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...

Improvement in fiber optics and imaging paved the way for tremendous advancements in neuroendoscopy. These advancements have led to increasingly widespread use of the endoscope in neurosurgical procedures, which in turn incited a technological revolution leading to new approaches, instruments, techniques, and a diverse armamentarium for the treatment of a variety of neurosurgical disorders. Sof...

BACKGROUND Malignant gliomas account for a high proportion of brain tumours. With new advances in neurooncology, the recurrence-free survival of patients with malignant gliomas has been substantially prolonged. It, however, remains dependent on the thoroughness of the surgical resection. The maximal tumour resection without additional postoperative deficit is the goal of surgery on patients wit...
