Abstract
Management of lateral and third ventricular tumors has been a challenge for neurosurgeons. Advances in imaging and pathology have helped in a better understanding of the treatment options. Technical refinement of microsurgical technique and addition of endoscopy has enabled more radical excision of tumors, when indicated, and added more safety.A proper understanding of the pathology at various ages and treatment options is continuously evolving. Many pediatric tumors are amenable to conservative surgical methods with effective complementary treatments. However, radical surgery is required in many adults as the main treatment and for many benign tumors. Various intraventricular lesions encountered and their surgical management is reviewed here for their efficacy, safety, and outcome, encompassing changes in our practice over the last 20 years.
