  • Title: Combined pre-retrochiasmatic resection of third ventricle craniopharyngioma by endoscopic endonasal approach.
    Author: Shou X, Shen M, He W, Wang Y.
    Journal: Acta Neurochir (Wien); 2022 Dec; 164(12):3297-3301. PubMed ID: 36074182.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUNDS: Third ventricle craniopharyngioma (TVC) refers to the tumor originating from the tuberoinfundibular, and completely located in the third ventricle; unlike most TVCs, the retrochiasmatic-infundibulum corridor is too narrow to expose the tumor with anterior extension via an endoscopic endonasal approach. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of two TVCs via an endoscopic endonasal combined pre-retrochiasmatic approach. CONCLUSIONS: The tumor inside the third ventricle can be satisfactorily exposed through a combined pre-retrochiasmatic approach and be completely removed with the lowest injury of the hypothalamus and optic nerve.
