DOI: 10.1007/s00381-020-04826-w
Abstract: Intra-axial “pineal region” tumors include pineal, tectal, and aqueductal tumors. All three tumor subgroups cause obstruction of the aqueduct; however, they differ in radiological nuances, pathology, differential diagnosis, and treatment. The goal of this manuscript… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00401-019-02101-0
Abstract: Tumors of the pineal region comprise several different entities with distinct clinical and histopathological features. Whereas some entities predominantly affect adults, pineoblastoma (PB) constitutes a highly aggressive malignancy of childhood with a poor outcome. PBs… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00401-020-02208-9
Abstract: Pineoblastoma (PB) is a CNS embryonal tumor of childhood with propensity to metastasize and a 5-year overall survival of 61% [5]. Originating from the pineal gland, PBs carry molecular profiles distinct from medulloblastomas (MBs), the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00701-021-04821-3
Abstract: Pineal region tumours remain challenging neurosurgical pathologies. Detailed anatomical knowledge of the posterior incisural space and its variations is critical. An opaque arachnoidal membrane seals the internal cerebral and basal veins, leading to thalamic, basal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10143-019-01189-y
Abstract: Surgical experience in pineal surgery is largely confined to a few experienced surgeons and may be lost when they stop their practice. The objective of this study is to systematically preserve and analyze valuable practical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10143-020-01323-1
Abstract: Pineal region tumors commonly present with non-communicating hydrocephalus. These heterogeneous histological entities require different therapeutic regimens. We evaluated our surgical experience concerning procurance of a histological diagnosis, management of hydrocephalus, and choice of antitumoral treatment.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13760-020-01387-2
Abstract: Pineal region tumors have different pathological tumors and their optimal management remains controversial. Advancements in neuroendoscopy have led to the ability to simultaneously treat the hydrocephalus and obtain a tissue diagnosis. A retrospective review of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2018.02.107
Abstract: BACKGROUND The sitting position has lost favor among neurosurgeons partly owing to assumptions of increased complications, such as venous air embolisms and hemodynamic disturbances. Moreover, the surgeon must assume a tiring posture. We describe our… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2018.06.110
Abstract: BACKGROUND Vascular pineal malformations are rare and technically demanding lesions. Because the locations of these lesions, endovascular techniques and radiosurgery have been increasingly used in the recent decades to accomplish safe occlusion. Nevertheless, microsurgical treatment… read more here.
