Risk Factors and the Management of Entrapped Temporal Horn following Lateral Ventricular Tumor Surgery

CONCLUSION: ETH often occurs following the surgery of lateral ventricle tumors. Large tumor diameter, tumor stroke, non-EVD at the end of operation, and the mechanical separation of the tumor boundary are the risk factors of ETH. The natural exposure of the tumor boundary during surgery, avoiding the use of hemostatic materials, placing an EVD tube at the end of operation, and postoperative infection control can effectively reduce the occurrence of ETH. It is essential to select the appropriate treatment method for patients with postoperative ETH.PMID:36482848 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.36722-21.2
