Purely endoscopic resection of pineal region tumors using infratentorial supracerebellar approach: How I do it.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Pituitary apoplexy is a rare and life-threatening complication occurring in 0.6-10.5% of all cases of pituitary adenomas. Although the association between pituitary apoplexy and visual dysfunction has been recognized for a long time, the optimal management of this problem still remains controversial. The pur...
