Introduction Chordoid Gliomas (CG) are rare neoplasms which frequently arise within the third ventricle. Surgery remains the mainstay treatment for CG. The present study comprehensively reviews all reported cases of CG within the literature in order to identify risk factors for surgical complications and tumor recurrence. Methods A comprehensive search on MEDLINE (OVID and Pubmed), Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science was conducted following PRISMA guidelines to identify all reported cases of CG. Results A total of 81 patients met the study criteria, comprised of 33 males and 48 females. Median age at diagnosis was 48 years with a range from 5 to 72 years, and mean tumor size was 3.1 cm. Biopsy, subtotal resection (STR), and gross total resection (GTR) was achieved in 8, 34, and 33 patients, respectively, with 6 cases not reporting extent of eresection (EOR). Thirteen patients underwent adjuvant radiotherapy. Postoperative complications were noted in 30 cases (37%), with new onset diabetes insipidus being the most common. Postoperative morbidity was not associated with age, tumor size, or extent of resection. A trans-lamina terminalis approach demonstrated a strong trend towards decreased overall rates of postoperative morbidity compared to other approaches (p=0.051). GTR was associated with improved progression-free survival (PFS; p=0.028), while adjuvant radiotherapy, age, tumor size and MIB-I were not predictive of patient outcomes. Conclusion GTR should be the primary goal for the management of CG, as it is associated with improved rates of tumor control without an increased rate of postoperative complications. Surgical approach was a stronger predictor of complication rates than extent of resection. Morbidity remains high, and future studies to further elaborate on factors predictive of postoperative complications are critical.

“…[11][12][13][14] Although this route is appropriate for accessing tumors in the inferior part of the third ventricle, it is not suitable for removal of large lesions. 14,15 Initially, we employed bifrontal interhemispheric translamina terminalis approach but due to large tumor size, anatomical limitations and fixed microsurgical angle that provided narrow and deep surgical corridor only partial tumor debulking was achieved. The interhemispheric approach is an ideal procedure to access tumors located in the suprasellar region, the anterior third ventricle and the basal cisterns.…”

Interhemispheric Transcallosal Transforaminal Approach and Microscopic Third Ventriculostomy for Intraventricular Craniopharyngioma Associated with Asymmetric Hydrocephalus: Case Report and Literature Review

et al. 2019

We report on a case of a solid adamantinomatous variant of craniopharyngioma located entirely within the third ventricle causing asymmetric obstructive hydrocephalus in a 43-year-old male patient. The patient complaints included intermittent severe headache and progressive bilateral visual field loss. Initially, the lesion was accessed via the bifrontal interhemispheric translamina terminalis approach but total removal was not possible due to short anterior communicating artery which limited the exposure. In the second stage, we used the right interhemispheric transcallosal transforaminal approach and achieved total tumor removal followed by microscopic third ventriculostomy. The present article discusses the selection of appropriate surgical approach based on concise literature review that provides favorable surgical management of these rare lesions.
