Abstract

Endoscopic neurosurgery has become an important modality in the treatment of several pediatric neurologic conditions. With improvements in imaging, fiberoptic technology, and equipment, minimally invasive techniques have allowed for safe visualization and manipulation of areas that were previously difficult to access through conventional neurosurgical procedures. Table 56.1 summarizes some of the more common pediatric conditions treated with endoscopic neurosurgery and the preferred noninvasive interventions.
