ABSTRACT: Despite significant progress in neurosurgery, the treatment of tumors in the sellar region remains one of the most difficult and pressing challenges in modern medicine, requiring a comprehensive approach and high-tech surgical interventions aimed at removing neoplasms located in anatomically difficult-to-reach areas. The situation is complicated by the fact that in some cases, tumors of the sellar region invade the third ventricle cavity, causing the development of occlusive hydrocephalus. This factor aggravates the course of the pathological process and negatively affects the prognosis of the disease. Moreover, it significantly increases the complexity of surgical intervention, the main objectives of which are to resect as much of the tumor as possible, restore the patency of the cerebrospinal fluid pathways, and maintain a satisfactory quality of life for the patient.
