Abstract
The postoperative ventricular adhesion after resection of CNS tumors may obstruct physiological CSF circulation and cause temporal horn entrapment. The surgical goal is to restore physiological flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The authors reviewed their database to report their experience with endoscopic fenestration for treating entrapped temporal horn caused by atrial adhesions. All endoscopic operations performed from February 2015 to December 2016 were reviewed. Three patients developed temporal horn entrapment after tumor resection. Fenestration was successful in all of these patients, with a subsequent stomy of the septum pellucidum. Follow-up MRI after one year showed a patent reduction of the entrapped horn. Endoscopic fenestration is an option in the treatment of entrapped temporal horns. However, more experience is required to recommend it as the treatment of choice.
