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 article presents a clinical case of the simultaneous execution of endoscopic ventriculocisternostomy of the third ventricle floor (ETV), aqueductoplasty, fenestration of the supracerebellar cyst in occlusive hydrocephalus using a semi-rigid needle neuroendoscope. The authors describe a child who, at the age of 1 month, was admitted to Neurosurgical Department No. 1 of the Federal Center for Neurosurgery of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation in Tyumen with a diagnosis of congenital internal occlusive hydrocephalus, subcompensated course. MRI scan of the brain: triventricular occlusive asymmetric hydrocephalus is visualized, adhesions in the upper parts of the aqueduct, supracerebellar arachnoid cyst were visualised. ETV, aqueductoplasty, fenestration of the supracerebellar cyst were performed. There were no postoperative neurological, endocrine and infectious complications. The observation period after surgery is 7 years from today. Conclusion: preoperative MRI analysis of the structures of the third ventricular floor, interventricular and prepontine cisterns is important for understanding endoscopic, microsurgical anatomy and surgical planning. The use of modern improved endoscopic instruments, low-traumatic performance of all stages of the operation allow to restore cerebrospinal fluid circulation and achieve high efficiency in the treatment of occlusive hydrocephalus in the long-term period. This, in turn, relieves patients of the shunt-dependent state, constant correction of the dysfunctions of the shunt system and long-term, and often ineffective, treatment performed by neurologists and pediatricians.

Abstract Background: One of the key elements for a successful endoscopic intervention in the ventricular system is the ability to recognize the anatomic structures and use them as a reference. Objective: To measure the choroid plexus with endoscopy in the interventricular foramen, together with the structures on the third ventricle floor, and to compare these variables. Methods: An observational prospective study was carried out on 37 brains of cadavers for which the cause of death was assessed at the Death Check Unit of the University of São Paulo in April 2008. This study was done on adults of both sexes with a rigid neuroendoscope. Endoscopic images were recorded, submitted for correction of distortion, and then measured. Results: The measurements of the choroid plexus in the interventricular foramen, laterolateral distance of mammillary bodies, distance from the infundibular recess to the mammillary bodies, and area of the triangle in the tuber cinereum were 1.71 ± 0.77 mm, 2.23 ± 0.74 mm, 3.22 ± 0.82 mm, and 3.69 ± 2.09 mm2, respectively. The ventricle floor was opaque in 84% of cases. The internal distance of mammillary bodies was absent in 89%. Associations between the translucent floor of the third ventricle and laterolateral distance of mammillary bodies, internal distance of mammillary bodies, and age were identified. Conclusion: Before this research, there was no record of the measurements of the choroid plexus in the interventricular foramen. The remaining variables of the present study show a greater number in normal brains compared with others.

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.
