The role of endoscopic perforation of the third ventricular floor in the treatment of pineal neoplasms. One solution for different approaches to the treatment of pineal tumors

Neoplasms of the pineal region include an extensive list of pathological formations, which represent one of the most difficult areas for surgical treatment. The resolution of hydrocephalus in pineal tumors is one of the most important tasks in the treatment of tumors of this localization. In the presented work, we report on an alternative surgical strategy for the management of certain patients with pineal neoplasms, which allows treating the symptomatic manifestation of hydrocephalus by endoscopic third ventriculostomy and further conducting specific therapy or observing pathological formation in the pineal region and the posterior parts of the third ventricle.
