ABSTRACT
The transventricular endoscopic approach is an effective less invasive method for the management of symptomatic intrasellar arachnoid cysts in adults. The open area of the brain tissue defect in the infundibular recess caused by the upward compression of the cyst is a common target site for fenestration from the third ventricle. This report highlighted an alternative approach through the tuber cinereum (denoted as "trans-tuberal"), which enabled the treatment of symptomatic cases with a small opening for cyst fenestration in the infundibular recess.
