  • Title: Interhemispheric endoscopic resection of large intraventricular and thalamic tumors.
    Author: Sood S, Nundkumar N, Ham SD.
    Journal: J Neurosurg Pediatr; 2011 Jun; 7(6):596-9. PubMed ID: 21631194.
    Abstract:
    A transfrontal route is the traditional endoscopic approach to intraventricular tumors. Small lesions can be biopsied using the parallel port channel of the endoscope. For larger tumors a ventriculoport can be used for resection. This technique nevertheless requires traversing the brain tissue, is difficult in the setting of small ventricles, and allows only limited mobility. The authors describe the endoscopic resection of large intraventricular tumors via an interhemispheric route using rigid suction with a mounted endoscope, and thus circumventing some of the problems with the traditional approach.
