Endoscopic surgery for intraventricular brain tumors in patients without hydrocephalus.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is often perceived as a passive membrane. However, evidence has demonstrated that the BBB plays an active role in normal homeostasis and in certain disease processes. METHODS:Approximately 300 peer-reviewed publications that discussed normal or abnormal BBB function were reviewe...
