Abstract Intracranial germ cell tumors are malignant brain tumors. Neurosurgical intervention for thesetumors may be required for diagnostic sampling, tumorcytoreduction, or hydrocephalus treatment.

We advocate the use of endoscopic techniques for tumor biopsy, tumor removal, and third ventriculostomy in hydrocephalic cases |
