NEUROENDOSCOPY

VENTRICULAR ENDOSCOPY – PRIMARILY USED TO TREAT INTRAVENTRICULAR TUMORS AND HYDROCEPHALUS

MAY BE USED TO ASSIST WITH DIFFICULT AND LIMITED OPERATIVE EXPOSURES -IE; ANEUYSM SURGERY, PITUITARY SURGERY

ASSISTANCE WITH SPINAL SURGERY

ENDOSCOPE USED WITH NEURONAVIGATION

HYDROCEPHALUS

OBSTRUCTIVE-BLOCKAGE WITHIN VENTRICULAR CSF PATHWAYS

COMMUNICATING- BLOCKAGE OF ABSORBTION AT ARACHNOID VILLI

OBSTRUCTIVE HYDROCEPHALUS

AQUEDUCTAL STENOSIS INTAVENTRICULAR TUMORS-IE; COLLOID

CYSTS,DERMOIDS, SUBEPYNDYMOMAS. PINEAL TUMORS, CERREBELLAR MASSES, CEREBELLAR STROKES/HEMORRHAGE, BRAINSTEM TUMORS

BRAIN TUMORS

MULTIPLE TYPES DEPENDING ON EMBRYOLOGICAL ORIGIN -ie; Astrocytoma derived from glial tissue origin

METASTASTATIC(secondary) BRAIN TUMORS MOST COMMON

ASTROCYTOMA MOST COMMON PRIMARY BRAIN TUMOR

BRAIN TUMOR WORK UP AND INITIAL TREATMENT

DEXAMETHASONE- INITIAL 10 MG IV X 1 THEN FOLLOWED WITH 4-6 MG IV/PO q 6 hrs

OBTAIN CT OR MRI WITH AND WITH OUT CONTRAST

IF MASS IS PRESENT THEN RULE OUT ABCESS vs METASTATIC DISEASE

IF ORIGIN OF TUMOR CANT BE DISCOVERED THEN CEREBRAL BIOPSY AND POSSIBLY RESECTION IS INDICATED

PITUITARY SURGERY

MOST COMMON APPROACH IS TRANSSPHENOIDAL

GOALS OF SURGERY 1) PRESERVE VISION 2) CORRECT ENDOCRENOPATHY

CAVERNOUS SINUS INVASION WILL REQUIRE POST OPERATIVE STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY ,CONTINUED MEDICAL MANAGEMENT, OR BOTH

CRANIOTOMY IS RARELY INDICATED

TRIGEMINAL NEUARALGIA ETIOLOGY

REDUNDANT SUPERIOR CEREBELLAR ARTERY COMPRESSION

SUPERIOR PETROSAL VEIN COMPRESSION

POSTERIOR FOSSA TUMOR MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (bilateral TN)

TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA(AKA tic douloureux) PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

SEVERE PAROXYSMAL LANCINATING PAIN LASTING ONLY A FEW SECONDS OFTEN TRIGGERED BY SENSORY STIMULI

CONFINED TO THE DISTRIBUTION OF ONE OR MORE DIVISIONS OF THE TRIGEMINAL NERVE ON ONE SIDE OF THE FACE

DUE TO EPHAPTIC TRANSMISSION IN TRIGEMINAL NERVE FROM LARGE DIAMETER MYLENATED A FIBERS TO POORLY MYLENATED A-DELTA AND C NOCICEPTIVE FIBERS

EPHAPTIC - conduction of nerve impulse across point of lateral contact rather than at synapse

EXTRADURAL-arise outside cord in vertebral body and epidural tissue(metastatic tumors most common)
