There was no death or morbidity throughout the 45-min procedure. All of the patients\u2019 histological findings were confirmed. Germinoma was diagnosed in two patients who recieved postoperative radiotherapy, and the third patient diagnosed with a pineocytoma. Magnetic resonance imaging with flow-sensitive sequences was used to confirm ventriculostomy patency in all patients 6 months after the surgery.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Biportal endoscopic approach enables better visual control of both procedures. Furthermore, it allows the surgeon to safely pass the ventriculoscope via the foramen of monro, even if it is narrow. Moreover, during endoscopic tumor biopsy and third ventriculostomy, the intracranial pressure can be smoothly managed using the outlet tubes accessible. This treatment may be an alternative to traditional uniportal endoscopic operations in certain patients.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s41016-022-00313-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,10]],"date-time":"2023-01-10T03:02:58Z","timestamp":1673319778000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Simultaneous biportal endoscopic management of pineal region tumors in patients with obstructive hydrocephalus: technical notes"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Sultan","family":"Al-Saiari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Khalid","family":"Al Orabi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad Ghazi","family":"Abdoh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdulaziz A.","family":"Basurrah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sultan Faez","family":"Albalawi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3888-5177","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmed A.","family":"Farag","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"313_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"930","DOI":"10.1227\/00006123-198706000-00019","volume":"20","author":"ML Apuzzo","year":"1987","unstructured":"Apuzzo ML, Chandrasoma PT, Cohen D, Zee CS, Zelman V.
