Background
Infratentorial supracerebellar approach via microscope still has some limitations in resection of pineal region tumors.
Methods
The authors describe a purely endoscopic infratentorial supracerebellar approach for resection of pineal region tumors with matched air-driven arm and navigation. The lateral oblique position is adopted. The same bimanual microsurgical techniques are utilized in this endoscopic approach with panoramic view and satisfying comfort.
Conclusions
Purely endoscopic resection of pineal region tumors using infratentorial supracerebellar approach is feasible. It may be considered as an alternative approach for certain pineal region tumors.
