Abstract Advances in optics, computing, and imaging have encouraged the application of intraventricular neuroendoscopy to a variety of neurosurgical procedures as transcortical third ventriculostomy, biopsy, or tumor retrieval. The advantages…
Abstract Awake craniotomy is a procedure in which the patient is awake for some period of time to allow for neurological testing. These awake procedures include epilepsy surgery, resection of…
Abstract Functional neurosurgery is a neurosurgical procedure done for alleviating symptoms of various central nervous system disorders that do not have any gross anatomical abnormality. Functional neurosurgery needs a well-coordinated…
Abstract Intracerebral hemorrhage is an important and common cause of stroke, which has the most devastating consequences. Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is the second most common vascular abnormality of the central…

Abstract The major contribution to the intracranial region is the supratentorial compartment. Consequently, the lesions of this compartment predominate in terms of clinical presentation to a neurological center. Despite the…
Abstract Pituitary gland is responsible for maintaining the milieu interior of the body. An adenomatous growth of the gland may cause hypo- or hypersecretion of various hormones The disturbance of…
Abstract Certain neurovascular lesions like complex aneurysms are difficult to treat using conventional neurosurgical techniques due to their size, vascular connections, morphology, or inaccessible location. In these cases, the ability…
