Abstract

Methods Preoperative MRI prompted that there were tegmental region masses in 13 children with hydrocephalus. The increase was not obvious. The fiber neuroendoscopy was used for the endoscopic third ventriculostomy. During the operative observation of mesencephalon tegmental region, the hyperplasia of periaqueductal nerve tissue with light pink rough surface and the occlusive aqueduct opening could be observed.

Highlights

  • Endoscopic third ventriculostomy is used for the treatment of obstructive hydrocephalus caused by tectal plate gliomas of the children

  • The tectal plate gliomas belongs to a rare type

  • The treatment of endoscopic third ventriculostomy for obstructive hydrocephalus caused by tectal plate gliomas is an effective means
