Awake surgery with direct electrical stimulation for safe resection of a deep posterior thalamic cavernous malformation
Background
Treating symptomatic deep-seated cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) is challenging due to surgical risks.
Case description
A 37-year-old man underwent awake craniotomy with direct electrical stimulation (DES) for excision of a left posterior thalamic CCM. A transcortical transventricular approach through the superior parietal lobe enabled safe navigation around critical associative and projection white matter tracts.
Results
Postoperative MRI confirmed complete resection with preservation of major tracts, and the patient showed significant recovery at three months.
Conclusion
This case highlights the potential of awake surgery with DES as a safe and effective method for deep-seated CCMs traditionally deemed inoperable.
期刊介绍:
Neurochirurgie publishes articles on treatment, teaching and research, neurosurgery training and the professional aspects of our discipline, and also the history and progress of neurosurgery. It focuses on pathologies of the head, spine and central and peripheral nervous systems and their vascularization. All aspects of the specialty are dealt with: trauma, tumor, degenerative disease, infection, vascular pathology, and radiosurgery, and pediatrics. Transversal studies are also welcome: neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neurology, neuropediatrics, psychiatry, neuropsychology, physical medicine and neurologic rehabilitation, neuro-anesthesia, neurologic intensive care, neuroradiology, functional exploration, neuropathology, neuro-ophthalmology, otoneurology, maxillofacial surgery, neuro-endocrinology and spine surgery. Technical and methodological aspects are also taken onboard: diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, methods for assessing results, epidemiology, surgical, interventional and radiological techniques, simulations and pathophysiological hypotheses, and educational tools. The editorial board may refuse submissions that fail to meet the journal''s aims and scope; such studies will not be peer-reviewed, and the editor in chief will promptly inform the corresponding author, so as not to delay submission to a more suitable journal.
With a view to attracting an international audience of both readers and writers, Neurochirurgie especially welcomes articles in English, and gives priority to original studies. Other kinds of article - reviews, case reports, technical notes and meta-analyses - are equally published.
Every year, a special edition is dedicated to the topic selected by the French Society of Neurosurgery for its annual report.
