Third ventricle craniopharyngioma (TVC) refers to the tumor originating from the tuberoinfundibular, and completely located in the third ventricle; unlike most TVCs, the retrochiasmatic-infundibulum corridor is too narrow to expose the tumor with anterior extension via an endoscopic endonasal approach.
Retrospective analysis of two TVCs via an endoscopic endonasal combined pre-retrochiasmatic approach.
The tumor inside the third ventricle can be satisfactorily exposed through a combined pre-retrochiasmatic approach and be completely removed with the lowest injury of the hypothalamus and optic nerve.
第三脑室颅咽管瘤(TVC)是指起源于结节漏斗部,完全位于第三脑室的肿瘤;与大多数 TVC 不同,视交叉后-漏斗间通道过于狭窄,无法通过经鼻内镜入路从前部显露并延伸的肿瘤。
回顾性分析 2 例经内镜经鼻联合视交叉前入路治疗 TVC。
联合视交叉前入路可充分显露第三脑室内部肿瘤,并最大限度减少下丘脑和视神经损伤,实现肿瘤全切。
