We present an overview of the history, development, technological advancements, current application, and future trends of cranial endoscopy. Neuroendoscopy provides a safe and effective management modality for the treatment of a variety of intracranial disorders, either tumoral or non-tumoral, congenital, developmental, and degenerative, and its knowledge, indications, and limits are fundamental for the armamentarium of the modern neurosurgeon.

Department of Neurosurgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Jixi Road 218, Hefei, 230022, P.R. China.
Transcranial neurosurgery assisted by endoscopy and intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) has become an effective approach for real-time visualization and guidance during tumor resection. This study explores the application of these techniques in falcine meningioma (FM) resection, assessing their feasibility and safety. Eleven FM patients underwent transcranial endoscopic resection with IOUS assistance.

Background: Endoscopic hematoma evacuation is an efficient and secure minimally invasive procedure for intracerebral hemorrhages, characterized by a greater evacuation rate and reduced complications.
Method: Pure endoscopic surgery without decompressive craniectomy was used to remove the clot in individuals with large putaminal intracerebral hemorrhage. The intracranial pressure was monitored after surgery.

Department of Neurosurgery, Liaocheng People's Hospital, Liaocheng, Shandong, China.
Rationale: Traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage can cause complications such as meningitis, ventriculitis and brain abscess. It is necessary to formulate individualized treatment strategies, such as the use of antibiotics and skull base reconstruction methods. The application of nasal septum mucosal flap can significantly reduce the incidence of cerebrospinal fluid leakage.

Transorbital endoscopic approaches (TEAs) are emerging as effective techniques for accessing the skull base while minimizing morbidity. This systematic review and anatomical study evaluate TEAs' feasibility and safety by analyzing 42 studies and performing cadaveric dissections. TEAs offer promising access to anterior and middle cranial fossae with reduced invasiveness compared to traditional methods.

Endoscopic transorbital approaches (ETOAs) are finding wide application for skull base lesions, particularly for spheno-orbital meningiomas (SOMs). These tumors have high recurrence rates, and second surgery can often represent a challenge. In this study we analyze our experience of management of recurrent SOMs through a slightly modified eyelid crease approach.
