We present the case of a thalamic glioma with obstructive hydrocephalus. The patient was successfully treated with neuroendoscopic biopsy, third ventriculostomy and subsequent gamma knife radiosurgery. At 12 months the tumor has decreased in size and the patient has no neurologic deficits. Neuroendoscopic surgery combined with gamma knife radiosurgery may play an important role in the selected intracranial tumors with minimally invasive technique.
