Exclusively endoscopic management of complicated pineal cysts in young children: Definitive treatment through single burr-hole technique
BACKGROUND: The management of complicated symptomatic pineal cysts in the pediatric population is challenging and variable. Surgical management may include treatment of hydrocephalus alone, or direct treatment of the cyst with or without direct hydrocephalus management. This is typically done throug...

description | BACKGROUND: The management of complicated symptomatic pineal cysts in the pediatric population is challenging and variable. Surgical management may include treatment of hydrocephalus alone, or direct treatment of the cyst with or without direct hydrocephalus management. This is typically done through craniotomy-based microsurgical approaches to the pineal region or an endoscopic transventricular approach. METHODS: We present a stepwise minimally invasive technique to treat complicated pineal cysts in young children associated with an obstructive hydrocephalus in a single procedure through third ventriculostomy combined with an intraventricular marsupialization of the pineal cyst through a single burr-hole using stereotactic navigation. RESULTS: Two young patients with over 2 years of follow-up have done well without complication using this technique. Other literature reports for complex pineal cysts in pediatric patients are reviewed and this technique is not previously described for this population. CONCLUSION: Endoscopic third ventriculostomy and cyst marsupialization using a single burr-hole and stereotactic navigation for symptomatic or enlarging pineal cysts in children allow for minimally invasive management, a rapid recovery, short hospital stay, and durable outcome owed to redundant CSF flow pathways. |
