Abstract
Resection or biopsy of intraventricular brain tumors using an endoscope has become common, but the limitations of these procedures are not clear. Manipulation to access a tumor that arises from the blind angle of the rigid endoscope, such as the anterior part of the aqueduct, is limited. We report here that we successfully resected a recurrent medulloblastoma in the anterior part of the aqueduct using only a flexible endoscope. This method appears to be suitable for poorly vascularized and suctionable tumors that arise in the blind angle of a rigid endoscope.
