Abstract
Background: Surgical resection is the cornerstone of treatment for low-grade tumors, albeit total excision is beneficial. As the thalamus is surrounded by vital neurovascular system, lesions here present a surgical challenge.
Method: This article aims to demonstrate the trans-temporal, trans-choroidal fissure approach's effective surgical therapy on patients with thalamic lesions. With this approach, we were able to remove the tumor completely in three patients and almost completely in six more. Here we discuss a few technical details and potential hazards of the procedure with an operative video.
Conclusion: This approach provides excellent access to the deep areas of brain.
期刊介绍:
The journal "Acta Neurochirurgica" publishes only original papers useful both to research and clinical work. Papers should deal with clinical neurosurgery - diagnosis and diagnostic techniques, operative surgery and results, postoperative treatment - or with research work in neuroscience if the underlying questions or the results are of neurosurgical interest. Reports on congresses are given in brief accounts. As official organ of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies the journal publishes all announcements of the E.A.N.S. and reports on the activities of its member societies. Only contributions written in English will be accepted.
