“…More recently, we were able to compile and analyze comprehensively the cohort of CPs with a verified strictly 3V topography (n=245), as well as the historical cohort of well-described papillary CPs published in the medical literature (n= 350) ( 30 , 31 ). Although the strictly 3V topography has remained controversial throughout history, some authors considering it an exceptional, ectopic location ( 32 ), while others even argue over its validity ( 33 ), the surgical series by Depoujarny ( 18 ), Cao ( 20 ), and Zhou ( 21 ) contribute to verify this particularly challenging location, confirming the anatomical integrity of the 3VF found in numerous strictly 3V CPs in prior studies (see Table 1 ) ( 34 – 49 ). The optimal surgical view of the brain undersurface obtained through the EEA unequivocally show the ballooned and stretched infundibulum wrapping around the lower pole of these lesions, which stay hidden within the 3V chamber ( 13 , 14 , 40 , 46 ).…”
