Introduction And Objectives: To determine the safety and efficacy of endoscopic keyhole surgery in patients with cerebellopontine angle tumours.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients with cerebellopontine angled tumours treated by fully endoscopic retrosigmoid keyhole approach in a tertiary centre during a period of four years. Preoperative, transoperative and postoperative variables were analysed.
Objectives: To determine the safety, effectiveness and perioperative costs of endonasal endoscopic approach in brain invasive malignant sinonsal tumours patients.
Materials And Methods: This was a case series bidirectional study; that included 30 brain invasive malignant sinonsal tumours patients treated by endonasal endoscopic approach (2015-2017) and 53 by open surgery (2010-2015). Propensity score matching was used to compensate the prognostic factors; in a sample of 50 patients (25 per group).

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of minimally invasive endoscopic surgery in patients with spinal extradural and intradural-extramedullary tumors.
Methods: This was a study of 15 consecutive patients with spinal extradural or intradural-extramedullary tumors up to 2 levels treated by minimal invasive surgery using a full endoscopic visualization and Caspar's retraction system (for cervical, thoracic, and lumbar tumors) over a 4-year period between January 2015 to April 2019 at a tertiary center.
Purpose: To evaluate clinically the efficacy of 360-degree minimally invasive endoscopic surgery in patients with orbital intraconal tumors.
Design: Retrospective interventional case series.
Methods: A series of consecutive patients with orbital intraconal tumors were treated with minimally invasive surgery using an endonasal endoscopic approach or an anterior endoscopic orbitotomy over a 5-year period between January 2015 and January 2020 at the National Institute of Oncology and Radiobiology of Cuba.
Introduction: Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide and in Cuba. Approximately one third of cancer patients develop a brain metastasis. Despite this, epidemiological studies are scarce, internationally and in Cuba; published research is mainly limited to autopsy studies and hospital case series.

Objective: To report one case of sphenoid sinus mucocele that occurred with headache and was submitted to surgical treatment through endonasal endoscopy approach.
Case Report: 59-year-old male patient with history of increasing frontoorbital, bilateral, fluctuating headache and exophthalmos.
