The role of neuroendoscopy in the treatment of pineal region tumors

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The authors describe a technique for the initial management of patients with pineal region neoplams and symptomatic hydrocephalus. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy and, if possible, tumor biopsy are performed through a single precoronal burr hole. When indicated, formal tumor resection can be performed nonemergently, without the need for ventricular drainage or shunting.
