Summary

Neuroendoscopy offers a minimally invasive approach for diagnosing and treating pediatric intracranial lesions, reducing trauma. This technique is crucial for managing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) disorders and intraventricular tumors, proving highly effective in complex cases.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Pediatric Neurosurgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Neuroendoscopy is a vital tool in pediatric neurosurgery for diagnosing and treating intracranial lesions.
  • This minimally invasive technique minimizes damage to surrounding tissues during intraventricular procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the indications and applications of neuroendoscopy in pediatric neurosurgery.
  • To highlight its diagnostic and therapeutic roles in managing various intracranial conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of neuroendoscopy in pediatric neurosurgery.
  • Analysis of personal experience with neuroendoscopy since 1996.

Main Results:

  • Neuroendoscopy is routinely used for hydrocephalus and identifying intraventricular lesions in children.
  • It serves as a primary or complementary approach in pediatric neurosurgical management.
  • The technique is particularly advantageous for complex hydrocephalus, intraventricular tumors, and cysts.

Conclusions:

  • Formal indications for neuroendoscopy are extensive in pediatric neurosurgery.
  • It is highly effective for managing cerebrospinal fluid circulation disorders and identifying tumors.
  • Neuroendoscopy is the preferred initial surgical option for multiseptate hydrocephalus, intraventricular tumors, and cysts.
  • Advancements in neuro-navigation and frameless stereotaxy will expand its precise application.
