Abstract
Shunt surgery is frequently chosen to manage periventricular metastasis of pineal region tumors which obscured the floor of the third ventricle. However, this procedure falls short due to distant metastasis. Neuronavigation-guided endoscopic surgery offers a viable alternative. A 17 years old man became symptomatic from widespread periventricular metastasis of a pineal region tumor which conmpletely obscured the floor of the third ventricle. Endoscopic tumor biopsy followed by neuronavigation-guided endoscopic third ventriculostomy was performed successfully.This case report emphasizes the value of neuronavigation-guided endoscopic third ventriculostomy as a feasible surgical alternative for pineal region tumors with widespread periventricular metastasis that obscure the third ventricular floor
