    Abstract:
    Ventriculoscopy is a simple, safe and informative method of examination of the lateral and third ventricles of the brain in childhood. In hydrocephalus of non-tumorous origin ventriculoscopy makes its possible, as a rule, to determine the origin of the dropsy and its character. The diagnosis of tumor of the brain of intraventricular or paraventricular localization and also of a tumor growing into the lumen of a cerebral ventricle is made on the basis of direct and indirect signs found during a visual examination. The histological nature of the process may be determined by biopsy of the pathological tissue collected during ventriculoscopy.
