Abstract

Introduction: Intraventricular tumors represent a challenge in neurosurgery due to their deep brain topography. Surgical excision is a fundamental element in its treatment and various surgical routes are reported. Procedures using tubular retractors and endoscopic assistance represent an option with satisfactory results.
Objective: Describe the surgical results in patients with ventricular brain tumors, using brainport procedures and endoscopic assistance.
Methods: A descriptive, prospective study was carried out in 8 patients at the Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital, operated on for ventricular tumors using tubular retractors and endoscopic assistance. An evaluation of patient and tumor characteristics, surgical procedures and results, complications and survival, was performed. For data analysis, absolute and relative frequencies were used as summary measures.
Results: A predominance of low-grade ventricular tumors of malignancy (75.0 %) was reported, most frequently in the trigone of the lateral ventricles (50.0%). The parietal brain port was the most used (62.5%). In relation to complications, it is described; motor deficit, wound infection, intraventricular bleeding, hydrocephalus and pulmonary thromboembolism (12.5% respectively). Ventriculoperitoneal shunt was the most frequently used associated surgical procedure (62.5%). There was a survival of more than 12 months (75.0%).
Conclusions: Procedures with a brain port and endoscopic assistance for ventricular brain tumors allow a high surgical resection and low incidences of complications.
