Two PGI neurosurgeons report new classification of endoscopic brain cysts

Neurosurgeons from PGIMER, Dr Dhandapani SS and Dr Sushant, have reported a new endoscopic classification of brain cysts in children in the World Neurosurgery Journal.

PGI claimed that this classification is the first of its kind.

Most of the present classifications are old with no relevance to treatment. Brain cysts are one of the causes of hydrocephalus, a condition of increased fluid accumulation inside the brain. Hydrocephalus in children often presents with increasing head size, vomiting, or drowsiness. Many of these cysts have origins from before birth in the mothers’ uterus. These cysts were once treated by open surgery, with much complications and a long recovery period.

Dr SS Dhandapani’s team has proposed a new classification, which will help in determining the optimal endoscopic approach. Dr Dhandapani has also reported a new technique of endoscopic surgery from behind the head in the same article.
