ABSTRACT
In endoscopic surgery for hydrocephalus and associated intraventricular lesions, a thorough understanding of the required microsurgical anatomy is paramount. Endoscopic procedures in hydrocephalus treatment typically fall into two categories ventriculocisternostomy and ventriculostomy for obstructive hydrocephalus. In the former, precise knowledge of intraventricular structures, such as the configuration of the ventricles and the path of internal vessels within them, is essential. In the latter, a comprehensive grasp of neural pathways, neural nuclei, and especially venous pathways beneath the ventricular wall is crucial for surgical success. Given that many cases exhibit deviations from normal anatomy, careful examination of preoperative images and a solid understanding of anatomical landmarks during surgery are indispensable. This is particularly critical in endoscopic procedures, which may lack stereoscopic vision, underscoring the importance of acquiring visual cues during the surgical intervention.
