Disease relevance of Neuroendoscopy

For selected intraventricular and paraventricular tumours neuroendoscopy offers the opportunity to combine relief of hydrocephalus with tumour biopsy and sampling of CSF in a single procedure [1].

High impact information on Neuroendoscopy

In the future, neuroendoscopy, beside its evident therapeutic efficacy, could open new perspectives in the study of both CSF biochemistry and physiology, allowing a highly selective approach to the various substances which are released and float in it [2].
METHODS: 8 patients with mono- or multicystic CP (7/8 regrowths/recurrence) underwent stereotactic neuroendoscopy and subsequently treatment with intracavitary bleomycin and GK [3].
BACKGROUND: Optimal surgical management of patients presenting with shunt failure in the age of neuroendoscopy remains complex [4].

Gene context of Neuroendoscopy

None was visible on conventional CT or MRI, two being discovered at neuroendoscopy and one only with a specific MRI sequence designed to show CSF partitioning [5].
