  • Title: [Primary clinical experience of neuroendoscopy: report of 19 cases].
    Author: Yang X, Li L, Wang XA.
    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 1997 Apr; 35(4):234-6. PubMed ID: 10374546.
    Abstract:
    10 cases of basal ganglion and 6 of subcortical hematoma were evacuated. One case of temporal and 2 cases of para- and intra-ventricle arachnoid cyst were fenestrated towards the cistern or lateral ventricle. Burred holes were near the lesion, through which endoscope should run. We guided the endoscope to the target by stereotatic equipment in 10 cases of basal ganglion hematoma and 1 case of ventricle arachnoid cyst, and introduced endoscope by free-hand in other cases. Hematoma group: CT reexamination within 48 hours showed that the residual hematoma was less than 20%-30% in 9 of 11 cases. Cyst group: symptoms of all cases of arachnoid cysts were alleviated after intervention. CT after a month showed that fenestration entrance could be seen clearly in 2 cases. The cyst reduced 20%-30% in 1 case. There were no direct complications in the group. It was shown that operation by endoscope is minimal invasive and little complicated.
