Brain Endoscopy
Brain endoscopy, also known as neuroendoscopy, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various brain conditions. It involves inserting a thin, flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) through a small incision in the skull, nose, or mouth to access the brain. This procedure allows surgeons to remove tumors, drain fluid buildup, treat hydrocephalus, and manage conditions like cysts or brain hemorrhages with minimal damage to surrounding brain tissue.
Symptoms
- Frequent headaches and nausea due to brain tumors or cysts.
- Vision problems caused by pressure on the brain.
- Seizures due to brain abnormalities.
- Hydrocephalus symptoms like confusion, balance issues, and memory loss.
- Brain hemorrhage signs such as severe headaches and neurological deficits.
Treatment
- Small Incision: A tiny hole is made in the skull, nose, or mouth.
- Insertion of Endoscope: A thin, flexible tube with a camera is guided into the brain.
- Real-time Imaging: The camera provides a high-resolution view of the brain structures.
- Surgical Procedure: Doctors remove tumors, drain fluid (as in hydrocephalus), or treat abnormal blood vessels.
- Minimally Invasive: This approach reduces scarring, recovery time, and complications compared to open brain surgery.
Treatment Benefits of Brain Endoscopy
- Minimally invasive with a small incision.
- Faster recovery time compared to traditional brain surgery.
- Lower risk of complications like infections or bleeding.
- Reduced pain and scarring after the procedure.
Conditions Treated with Brain Endoscopy
- Brain Tumors: Removal of tumors in hard-to-reach areas.
- Hydrocephalus: Draining excess fluid from the brain.
- Brain Cysts: Treating fluid-filled sacs that may cause pressure.
- Brain Hemorrhage Treatment: Controlling internal bleeding in the brain.
- Pituitary Gland Disorders: Removing tumors affecting hormone regulation.
Brain endoscopy is a safe and effective technique that allows for precision surgery with a faster recovery. If you or a loved one is experiencing neurological symptoms, consult a neurosurgeon to determine if brain endoscopy is the right treatment option.
