“…10 studies were selected using the PRISMA flow diagram and were included in the final analysis. The literature included 10 patients with CMs in the septum pellucidum (Table-1) with a median age of 42 years (range: 16 to 74 years) [4, 3, 5, 6, 7–11]. Of these patients, 8 were male (80%) and 2 were female (20%).…”

“…This approach is more anatomical and does not require a large ventricle, but it is technically more demanding. [3] In addition, callosotomy is too posterior and can give away a disconnection syndrome problem. An alternative and much less invasive procedure concerns the endoscopic method, which is increasingly used in the treatment of ventricular tumors.…”

“…CNS cavernomas are more frequent in the supratentorial region (74–90%) than infratentorial (10–26%), whereas intraventricular cavernomas are a rare variety of CNS cavernomas accounting for 2.5-10% of all intracranial cavernomas. [1, 2, 3]…”

Background: Cavernomas are rare central nervous system (CNS) lesions that constitute a distinct type of vascular malformation encountered in the brain parenchyma or ventricular system. A cavernoma can be familial or sporadic forms and exhibit a range of presentation from incidental findings to seizures, headaches, hemorrhage. Septum pellucidum cavernoma is exceedingly rare and should be studied for its unique topographical location and clinical course. Method: We performed a comprehensive literature search and review using multiple databases. the title or abstract and MeSH keywords used included 'cavernoma,' 'cavernous hemangioma,' 'cavernous malformation,' 'cavernous angioma,' 'CM,' 'septum pellucidum,' 'SP' and 'intraventricular,' along with 'AND' and 'OR' operators. Demographic and clinical data of each patient were collected for qualitative synthesis. Result: Reported cases were diagnosed at a median age of 42 years; the most frequent symptom was headaches. The incidence of hemorrhage and hydrocephalus was 30%. Gross total resection was performed in 100% of patients and exhibit clinical improvement. Conclusion: The unique location of the cavernoma exhibits clinical presentations seen and the surgical approach used. Gross total resection conveys the impression of optimum management strategy and leads to a magnificent outcome in most cases.

With the evolution of surgical techniques, endoscopy has emerged as a suitable alternative to many instances of more invasive methods. In this review article, we aim to discuss the endoscopic advancements, procedural details, indications, and outcomes of the most commonly practiced neuroendoscopic procedures. We have also summarized the uses, techniques, and challenges of neuroendoscopy in select neurosurgical pathologies.
