In this procedure a small, flexible viewing device, called an endoscope, is inserted into the brain and an opening is made between the third and fourth ventricles or in the foramina at the base of the brain
Fenestration (to create an opening) is performed in order to drain the arachnoid cyst. The most recent studies of patients treated using the method called "Endoscopic Fenestration" indicate very good outcomes.
DefinitionA fenestration is an opening or window. For example, one surgical treatment for hearing problems is to make an artificial opening, or a fenestration, in a certain part of the ear. Fenestration was once used to treat otosclerosis, an abnormal bone growth in the middle ear that causes hearing loss, but it is rarely used now.
