Brain Endoscopy (A Night Dive in the Brain)

Dr. Pakzaban (www.pakzaban.com) demonstrates an endoscopic third ventriculostomy and brain biopsy. In brain endoscopy, an endoscope (fiberoptic camera and light source) is inserted into the brain through a small hole in the skull. The endoscope is navigated to specifics parts of the brain to accomplish specific tasks. In this case, the endoscope is used to make a perforation in the floor of third ventricle (third ventriculo-cisternostomy) to relieve hydrocephalus caused by a brain tumor. A biopsy of the tumor is taken on the way out. Scuba diving enthusiasts will not miss the strong visual parallels between brain endoscopy and a night dive.
