“…In our study, we encountered a case of acute epidural hematoma, which was considered to be caused by rapid collapse of brain tissue resulting from excessive release of cerebrospinal fluid. Thus, the slow release of CSF intraoperatively was necessary to prevent rapid brain tissue collapse and the potential development of epidural hematoma ( 27 , 28 ). Early postoperative CT scan also acids in early diagnosis.…”

ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to investigate the clinical experience and therapeutic efficiency of Endoport-assisted neuroendoscopic surgery for resection of lateral ventricular tumors. The key points and application value of this surgical technique were additionally discussed.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and follow-up data of 16 patients who underwent endoport-assisted neuroendoscopic surgery for lateral ventricular tumors at the Department of Neurosurgery, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School, between January 2018 and September 2020. The surgical procedures, complications and outcomes were analyzed.ResultsThe study included a total of 16 patients (5 males and 11 females) with lateral ventricular tumors, with a mean age of 43.2 years (18-70 years old). The tumors were distributed as follows: 5 cases involved the body of the lateral ventricle, 3 involved the frontal horn and body, 3 involved the occipital horn, 2 involved the trigone, 2 involved the frontal horn, and 1 case involved the occipital horn and body. Perioperative complications were analyzed, revealing 1 case of intraoperative acute epidural hematoma intraoperative and 2 cases of postoperative obstructive hydrocephalus. All complications were promptly managed. Postoperative MRI revealed that 14 cases (88%) achieved total resection, while 2 cases (12%) achieved subtotal resection. During the follow-up of 6-38 months, no recurrence was observed. The patient diagnosed with glioblastoma died 16 months after surgery (GOS=1), while the remaining patients have successfully resumed to normal daily life with a GOS score of 5.ConclusionIn conclusion, endoport-assisted neuroendoscopic surgery proved to be a minimally invasive and effective technique for resecting lateral ventricular tumors, with acceptable complications. It effectively utilizes the benefits of close observation, comprehensive exposure, and reduced tissue damage. Therefore, endoport-assisted neuroendoscopic surgery is suitable for the resection of lateral ventricular tumors.

“…Moreover, the release of CSF during operation when endoport entered the ventricle should also maintain slowly to prevent the rapid collapse of brain tissue [16]. If not, it may readily induce intraoperative epidural hematoma, especially in the young people [17]. Fifthly, perfect postoperative management is extremely important.…”

PurposeThe aim of this study was to review the experience of Endoport-assisted neuroendoscopic surgery for lateral ventricular tumors resection, investigate the therapeutic efficiency and discuss the key points. MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 16 patients suffering from lateral ventricular tumors. All the patients received Endoport-assisted neuroendoscopic surgery from January 2018 to June 2020 in the department of neurosurgery, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School. ResultsAll the patients received standardized treatment according to the preoperative image data and the postoperative pathology of the tumors. Endoport-assisted Neuroendoscopic surgery achieved complete removal of lateral ventricular tumors in 14 cases (87.5%) and subtotal removal in 2 cases (12.5%, glioma). The perioperative complications were analyzed, 1 acute epidural hematoma occurred during surgery, 1 hemiplegia and 2 obstructive hydrocephalus occurred after surgery. All the complications were managed timely. During the long-time follow up, the patient with glioblastoma died 16 months after surgery, the other patients are still alive with Glasgow outcome scales not less than 4.ConclusionEndoport-assisted neuroendoscopic surgery is suitable for the resection of lateral ventricular tumors. This procedure is simple, effective, minimally invasive, and associated with fast postoperative recovery.

Endoscopic transventricular exploration with biopsy of the basal cisterns and the role of endoscopic third ventriculostomy in patients suffering with basal cistern meningitis and consecutive hydrocephalus

Abstract: Endoscopic transventricular biopsy of the basal cisterns seems to be a safe and a relatively accurate procedure. As longs as frozen subarachnoid space was not seen, the possibilities of performing ETV in hydrocephalus condition are elevated depending on the causal micro-organism.
