Background: Adult idiopathic occlusion of foramen of Monro (AIOFM) is a rare condition that results in hydrocephalus, and bilateral presentation is even rarer. Here we report a case of idiopathic bilateral stenosis of the foramen of Monro in an adult patient and performed a systematic literature review on the current treatment options and outcomes.
Methods: We performed a systematic review of SCOPUS, Science Direct, and PubMed databases in accordance with PRISMA guidelines.

Background: 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) has enabled better identification of malignant tumor cells and real-time intraoperative guidance. Here, we report a reasonable procedure for 5-ALA-guided endoscopic biopsy with a violet light-emitting diode (LED) flashlight for deep-seated malignant gliomas.
Methods: A 63-year-old man presented with a headache and left upper homonymous quadrantanopia.

As medical treatments continue to advance rapidly, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has found extensive applications across various clinical procedures. Accurate identification of medical instruments plays a vital role in comprehending surgical situations and facilitating endoscopic image-guided surgical procedures. However, the endoscopic instrument detection poses a great challenge owing to the narrow operating space, with various interfering factors (e.

Background: The anatomy of the roof of the fourth ventricle has been illustrated in many laboratory investigations, but in vivo reports of the roof anatomy and its variants are still lacking.
Objective: To describe the topographical anatomy of the roof of the fourth ventricle explored through a transaqueductal approach that overcomes cerebrospinal fluid depletion, displaying in vivo anatomic images possibly quite close to normal physiological conditions.
Methods: We critically reviewed the intraoperative video recordings of our 838 neuroendoscopic procedures, selecting 27 cases of transaqueductal navigation that provided good quality image details of the anatomy of the roof of the fourth ventricle.
