Endoscopic trans-septal interforniceal approach for excision of colloid cysts of the third ventricle using the rotational technique.
Child's Nervous System : ChNS : Official Journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery 2023 May 14
Colloid cysts of the third ventricle are benign intracranial lesions that account for 0.5 to 2% of all brain tumors and are even rarer in pediatric population. Dandy was the first to successfully excise a colloid cyst of the third ventricle via a transcortical transventricular approach in 1921. For several decades to follow, the transcortical transventricular and transcallosal microsurgical approaches remained the cornerstone of surgical management of these lesions. With time and refinements in endoscopic equipment and techniques, endoscopic resection of colloid cysts evolved into a currently well-established and appealing minimally invasive alternative to microsurgery. Endoscopic endochannel techniques for colloid cysts of the third ventricle may either be transforaminal or trans-septal interforniceal, depending on the pathoanatomical features of the colloid cyst and its relation to the juxtaposed anatomical structures. The endoscopic trans-septal interforniceal approach is required to access the rare subset of colloid cysts that extend superior to the roof of the third ventricle between the two fornices insinuating themselves between the leaflets of the septum pellucidum. In this article, the surgical technique of the endochannel endoscopic trans-septal interforniceal approach is elaborated upon. A representative case is presented along with an operative video.
