Awake Craniotomy for Removal of Left Insular Cavernous Malformation

Transcortical Transchoroidal Approach for Resection a Third Ventricular Cavernous Malformation: 2-Dimensional Operative Video

“…Resection of cavernous malformations located in the third ventricle represents a great surgical challenge because of its eloquent surrounding anatomy and depth. 1,2 A total resection of the lesion is required to avoid a recurrent hemorrhage which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. 3,4 In this operative video, we present an operation for a patient with a cavernous malformation located in the left perithalamic region toward the third ventricle with previous hemorrhagic events.…”

Transcallosal Transchoroidal Approach to the Third Ventricle for Resection of a Thalamic Cavernoma—Anatomic Landmarks Review: 3-Dimensional Operative Video

“…Complete removal of the lesion is required to prevent recurring hemorrhagic events with the associated morbidity and mortality. 1-3 When approaching lesions located in the thalamus, there are different trajectory alternatives mainly depending on the part of the thalamus involved.…”

“…Complete removal of the lesion is required to prevent recurring hemorrhagic events with the associated morbidity and mortality. [1][2][3] When approaching lesions located in the thalamus, there are different trajectory alternatives mainly depending on the part of the thalamus involved. In this 3-dimensional operative video, we present a patient with a large, cavernous malformation located in the medial aspect of the right thalamus and mesencephalon with two previous hemorrhagic events.…”
