Endoscopic supracerebellar infratentorial approach to pineal and posterior third ventricle lesions in prone position with head extension: a technical note.

CONCLUSIONS: The endoscopic SCIT approach enables effective and safe removal of pineal and posterior third ventricle lesions, even of moderate dimensions (up to 3 cm). The endoscope guarantees a detailed view and illumination of the deep-seated structures. The tumour resection can be performed with bimanual use of microsurgical instruments.
