Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Entrapment of the temporal horn (TH) is rare condition that can lead to increased intracranial pressure, but there is no consensus on a standard treatment. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic literature review of the reported cases of TH entrapment and describe our operative technique for endoscopic fenestrations of the lateral ventricle into the basal cisterns.
METHODS: We searched the databases Pubmed and Google scholar to find all studies reporting cases of entrapped TH and the subsequent treatment. Additionally, we report two illustrative cases of endoscopic fenestration with a step-by-step description of our surgical technique.
RESULTS: Twenty-nine studies with a total of 67 patients were included in the analysis. The mean age was 36.5 years (SD± 21.9), and the female-to-male ratio was 1.5. The most frequent cause of TH entrapment was post-surgical scarring after tumor surgery (n= 30), and the most commonly reported treatment modality was endoscopic fenestration of the TH (n = 14). We observed an increasing use of endoscopic fenestration over time.
CONCLUSIONS: Entrapped TH is a rare condition often requiring surgical treatment. Neuronavigation-guided endoscopic fenestration of the ventricle into the basal cisterns appears to be a safe, efficient, and device-free technique that has gained importance over the past years.

摘要：
背景：颞角（TH）的压迫是罕见的情况，可导致颅内压升高，但对标准治疗尚无共识。这项研究的目的是对所报道的TH截留病例进行系统的文献回顾，并描述我们将侧脑室的内窥镜开窗入基底水箱的手术技术。
方法：我们搜索了数据库Pubmed和Googlescholar，以找到所有报告截留TH和后续治疗病例的研究。此外,我们报告了两个示例性的内镜开窗术病例,并对我们的手术技术进行了分步描述.
结果：29项研究共67例患者纳入分析。平均年龄36.5岁(SD±21.9),男女比例为1.5。TH截留的最常见原因是肿瘤手术后的手术后瘢痕形成（n=30），最常报道的治疗方式是内镜下TH开窗术(n=14).我们观察到内窥镜开窗术的使用随着时间的推移而增加。
结论：被困TH是一种罕见的疾病，通常需要手术治疗。神经导航引导的内镜下将心室开窗入基底水箱似乎是安全的，高效,和无设备技术在过去几年中变得越来越重要。
