Extra-ventricular application of flexible neuro-endoscopy in intracranial epidermoid cyst open resection: A novel technique.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Intracranial epidermoid cysts are congenital lesions with a predilection for midline or paramedian spaces including the cerebellopontine cistern, fourth ventricle, or the interhemispheric fissure. The only effective treatment is resection. Conventionally, epidermoid cysts are resected with open transcranial approaches. The advent of neuroendoscopy has allowed for less invasive options and can assist open microneurosurgery in better visualization of the lesion around corners. As rigid neuroendoscopes are limited in accessing tight corners, flexible endoscopy has been proposed to assist neurosurgery, with the additional angles of view and the advantage of tip-steerability. We present a case of flexible endoscopy assistance in epidermoid cyst resection. Case Description: A 41-year-old woman presents with a posterior fossa epidermoid cyst, where suboccipital craniotomy and flexible endoscopy-assisted resection allowed for visualization of the remaining cranial portion of the tumor in the 4 Conclusion: We illustrate the novel use of flexible endoscopy to assist with the resection of a recurrent posterior fossa epidermoid cyst and an interhemispheric epidermoid cyst.
