Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Endoscopic Techniques

Background:

  • Brainstem cavernous malformations present significant surgical challenges due to their deep location.
  • Conventional surgical approaches often require extensive brain retraction, increasing patient risk.
  • A minimally invasive endoscopic endonasal transclival approach provides an alternative surgical corridor.

Observation:

  • A 20-year-old woman presented with acute neurological deficits secondary to a ventral midbrain hemorrhage.
  • Imaging revealed a mesencephalic cavernous malformation compressing critical neural pathways.
  • The patient developed hemiparesis and ophthalmoplegia, indicating significant neurological compromise.

Findings:

  • Endoscopic endonasal transclival resection achieved complete removal of the mesencephalic cavernous malformation.
  • The procedure involved direct visualization, drainage of the cavernoma, and meticulous dissection.
  • Postoperative imaging confirmed total resection with no residual lesion.

Implications:

  • This approach demonstrates the feasibility and safety of endoscopic endonasal surgery for deep-seated brainstem lesions.
  • Minimally invasive techniques can reduce surgical morbidity associated with brainstem cavernoma resection.
  • Successful resection led to significant improvement in the patient's neurological symptoms.
