OBJECTIVE

To study the endoscopic anatomy of the cerebral ventricles, namely the lateral and third ventricles, as applied to endoscopic surgery of the floor of the third ventricle.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The endoscopic anatomy of the lateral and third ventricle was studied on 10 cadaver preparations using vessels stained with colored silicone.

CONCLUSION

Understanding the endoscopic anatomy of the cerebral ventricles is important in modern, especially minimally invasive, neurosurgery. In particular, knowledge of the structures of the lateral ventricles, the interventricular foramen and the third ventricle is essential in endoscopic neurosurgery.

Keywords:
