Initial Procedure

Object. The authors report their experience in six patients presenting with pineal tumors and associated hydrocephalus who underwent an endoscopic biopsy procedure and third ventriculostomy (ETV) in a single setting. The purpose of this report is to discuss the role of neuroendoscopic procedures in the management of pineal region tumors. Methods. A retrospective review of patients undergoing simultaneous ETV and tumor biopsy was ndertaken. Neuroendoscopic surgery was first applied for tumor debulking with tissue diagnosis and gross morphological analysis of the tumor and the intraventricular structures, followed by third ventriculostomy. Subsequent procedures were determined on the basis of verified individual tumors. Results. Over a 2-year interval, 6 patients underwent simultaneous ETV and tumor management. These patients ranged from 6 to 54 years of age (mean 24.3 years). All cases were completed without complications or the need for an additional CSF diversionary procedure within 6 months. The diagnostic yield of the biopsy was 100%. Favorable therapeutic outcomes were obtained in all cases of germinoma and pineoblastoma, with follow-up periods ranging from 6 to 24 months. Conclusion. The majority of our patients with dilated ventricles were treated satisfactorily with effective neuroendoscopic procedures as the initial procedure, avoiding unnecessary craniotomy and promising excellent therapeutic outcomes.
