The Anterior Interhemispheric Transcallosal Approach to the Ventricles: How We Do It

Adv Tech Stand Neurosurg. 2024;49:123-138. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-42398-7_7.ABSTRACTIntraventricular tumors of the lateral and third ventricles are relatively rare, accounting for 1-2% of all primary brain tumors in most large series [1-4]. They can be uniquely challenging to approach due to their deep location, propensity to become large before they are discovered, and association with hydrocephalus [5, 6]. The surgeon's goal is to develop a route to these deep lesions that will cause the least morbidity, provide adequate working space, and achieve a complete resection. This must be performed with minimal manipulation of the neural structures encircling the ventricles, avoiding functional cortical areas, and acquiring early control of feeding vessels [7, 8].PMID:38700683 | DOI:10.1007/978-3-031-42398-7_7
