Endoscopic Aqueductoplasty

Isolated fourth ventricle is not uncommon in complex posthemorrhagic or postinfectious hydrocephalus. When the condition is symptomatic, the current surgical treatment is endoscopic aqueductoplasty, followed by endoscope-assisted placement of a catheter in the fourth ventricle. The authors suggest a very simple method of steering the tip of standard ventricular catheters by using materials commonly available in all operating rooms. The main advantage of this method is that it permits less invasive transaqueductal drainage of trapped fourth ventricles, especially in cases of narrow third ventricle, because the scope and catheter are introduced in sequence and not in a double-barreled fashion. Two illustrative cases are reported.

The Brain

Lesions in the pineal region are topographically located in the centre of the brain in the diencephalic-epithalamic region. An area where the brain is bounded ventrally by the quadrigeminal plate, midbrain tectum, and in-between the left and right superior colliculi, dorsally by the splenium of the corpus callosum, caudally by the cerebellar vermis and rostrally by the posterior aspects of the third ventricle. Major anatomical and surgical challenges are the vein of Galen located dorsally, the precentral cerebellar vein caudally, the internal cerebral veins anteriorly and the basal vein of Rosenthal laterally. Most pineal region tumours can be safely removed by both approaches depending on the surgeon’s experience: the occipital transtentorial approach is recommended in presence of associated hydrocephalus or a steep straight sinus and low location of the tumour and the supracerebellar infratentorial approach for posterior third ventricle tumours.

Third Ventricle Tumours

Chordoid glioma is a rare and relatively recently defined tumour entity. Worldwide there have only been around 90 cases described until now. A chordoid glioma comprises a low-grade suprasellar neuroepithelial neoplasm originating in the anterior part of the third ventricle, with consistent radiological features on MRI. This lesion should be considered as a differential of third ventricle tumours. The patient described in this paper is quite unique in the sense that despite only partial tumour resection was obtained, the residual tumour was not progressive during several years of follow-up. Preoperative recognition of this disease entity is crucial to modify the treatment approach and improve patient outcome.

Colloid Cysts

Introduction: Colloid cysts of the third ventricle are rare, histologically benign lesions that can be associated with obstructive hydrocephalus. Endoscopic removal developed as an alternative to microsurgical craniotomy as a less invasive surgical treatment. This review examines the endoscopic surgical experience for a consecutive series of patients with colloid cyst of the third ventricle. Methods: Patients with a diagnosis of “colloid cyst of the third ventricle” who were treated in Calgary between January 1994 and July 2014 were reviewed using a clinic database and registry. Results: 95 patients were identified. 30 patients without hydrocephalus underwent serial MRI and clinical observation with one patient developing hydrocephalus leading to surgical treatment. 65 patients underwent endoscopic treatment of their colloid cyst (male=34; female=31). The mean age at diagnosis was 45.5 years. 3 patients had been previously treated with other surgical approaches. All surgically treated patients had hydrocephalus and hydrocephalus resolved in all 65 patients. 1 patient sustained an injury to the internal capsule with transient hemiparesis. Mean followup was 8.2 years (range 0.1-19.3 years). 3 patients experienced colloid cyst recurrence treated with a second endoscopic removal. Conclusion: Endoscopic treatment of third ventricle colloid cysts can be performed with low risk as an alternative to microsurgical resection.
