The Minipterional craniotomy is reliable, less invasive, it maintains the advantages of the pterional approach but avoids greater exposure of the parenchyma and tissue manipulation. Aneurysms of the anterior circulation, ruptured and unruptured, can be treated safely and effectively with limited bone extraction, good cosmetic results and good temporomandibular function.

Endoscopic aqueductoplasty with stent placement in the Silvio aqueduct is an effective measure in cases of isolated cyst in the fourth ventricle, achieving good clinical and imaging evolution compared to other therapeutic options. We present the case of a 34-year-old patient with a history of neurocysticercosis who received antiparasitic treatment and the placement of a DVP, presenting multiple dysfunction with severe dilatation of the IV ventricle.
