Abstract		The objective of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy and limitations of endoscopic treatment used in two patients with intraventricular tumors: one without ventricular enlargement and another with hydrocephalus. In the latter a successful endoscopic third ventriculostomy was done. Pathological diagnosis was made in the first patient only. A neuroendoscopic approach has proved a useful technique for the treatment of selected intraventricular tumors.
Summary		Članek prikazuje uporabnost in nekatere omejitve nevroendoskopije pri bolnikih s tumorjem v ventriklu. V prvem primeru je šlo za bolnika brez hidrocefalusa, v drugem pa za bolnika s hidrocefalusom. Pri drugem bolniku je bila kot kirurško zdravljenje hidrocefalusa uspešno narejena tudi ventrikulostomija. Natančno patohistološko diagnozo smo dobili samo pri prvem bolniku. Kljub omejitvam je nevroendoskopija uporabna in v določenih primerih metoda izbire tako pri diagnostiki kot pri zdravljenju intraventrikelnih tumorjev.
