ABSTRACT
Introduction: since 2008, intracranial neuroendoscopic procedures are performed in
"Dr. Carlos J. Finlay" Military Central Hospital.
Objective: to show the safety and benefits of the intracranial neuroendoscopic
treatment.
Methods: a retrospective descriptive study was conducted in 18 patients suffering
from diseases that required intracranial neuroendoscopic treatment. Etiologic profile,
neuroendoscopic procedures preformed, surgical types and modalities applied and the
complications detected in three patients were examined.
Results: obstructive hydrocephalus was the main etiologic cause (93,75 %). A total
of 24 actions were performed; of them, Fenestration Endoscopic premamilar of the
floor of the third ventricle was the most used (62,5). Both actions were performed as
emergency and ambulatory treatments (33,33 % and 11,11 % respectively).
Conclusions: intracranial neuroendoscopy has an important function in the treatment
of neurosurgical patients. Obstructive hydrocephalus was the main treated entity and
the Fenestration Endoscopic premamilar of the floor of the third ventricle was the
main procedure performed. It is a safe behavior, the complications are minimal and
the treatment can be followed in an emergent form and even as ambulatory
treatment in patients with cystic lesions.
