UNASSIGNED: Neuroendoscopy is now considered to be a minimally invasive surgical approach for expanding lesions bulging into the ventricle, and it is also considered to be a relevant tool for performing biopsy procedures, fenestration of cystic walls, or for performing @entity5 removal in selected cases. Furthermore, the use of neuroimaging and the accurate follow-up of @entity1313 @entity1 have allowed the documentation of tumoral and pseudotumoral cystic areas that cause the obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways. Neuroendoscopic procedures enable the fenestration of @entity5409 , in addition to enabling third ventriculostomy or septostomy to restore CSF pathways. We analyze our experience regarding 77 @entity1 affected by @entity1313 arising from the wall of the third or lateral ventricle. In all cases @entity1276 or obstruction of CSF flow was present. With an endoscopic technique, septostomy, cystostomy, endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV), and @entity5 resection were performed to control @entity428 .ETV was performed in 53 @entity1 with noncommunicating @entity1276 . In 4 @entity1 with low-grade @entity816 ETV was definitely the only surgical treatment. In 12 @entity5 , cystostomy and marsupialization into the ventricle solved a relevant mass effect with clinical @entity428 . In 10 @entity1 , neuroendoscopic relief of CSF pathways was possible by performing septostomy with the implantation of an Ommaya reservoir or one-catheter shunt. In 5 colloid cysts and 2 @entity976 , removal was possible by restoring CSF flow without other procedures. After @entity428 control, in 13 @entity11 and 5 leptomeningeal metastases, the @entity1 ' quality of life improved sufficiently to provide for @entity5 adjuvant therapy.In this series, endoscopy, due to its minimally invasive characteristics and reduced complications, was found to be safe and effective, without any relevant postoperative morbidity, gained by avoiding major surgical approaches.Based on these results and on the increasing number of series described in the literature, we believe that endoscopic techniques should be considered a selected approach for treating @entity5173 caused by @entity2504 . The result of using neuroendoscopy is the reconstruction of CSF pathways that bypass the @entity5 occlusion. This surgical procedure is not only limited to the relief of noncommunicating @entity1276 , but it is also useful for @entity5 removal or biopsies and the evacuation of @entity5409 . In @entity1 affected by @entity5 , neuroendoscopy can be performed to control @entity428 before the @entity1 start adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
