Neuroendoscopy for intracranial cysts in children
 1110 08:50-09:00
Interim Meeting of AASPN/303A
The expansion of cysts leads to neurological symptoms or obstructs the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways. Neuroendoscopic fenestration (NF) tends to be a common choice in children due to the continuous advances in neurosurgical techniques. Some pediatric patients with loculated hydrocephalus, arachnoid cysts, giant suprasellar cyst who underwent NF are illustrated. Neuroendoscopy can achieve both goals to simplify shunt system and reduce the number of surgical procedures. Neuroendoscopy with navigation planning, guidance is efficient to alleviate clinical symptoms and to significantly reduce the mass effect of pediatric intracranial cysts at different anatomical locations.
