Abstract

Flexible cerebral endoscopy allows one, in a minimally invasive manner, to approach the ventricular system and subarachnoid basal cisterns and to remove intraventricular neurocysticercal cysts. Flexible endoscopy is an alternative treatment for Bruns syndrome caused by neurocysticercosis of the third ventricle.
