Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neurology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Cavernous malformations are vascular malformations that can cause neurological deficits.
  • Thalamic cavernous malformations pose surgical challenges due to their deep location.
  • Hemorrhage from cavernous malformations necessitates timely and effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a surgical technique for removing a large left ventral thalamic cavernous malformation.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the anterior interhemispheric transcallosal approach for deep-seated lesions.
  • To document the complete resection and postoperative outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Patient positioning and surgical approach: supine with head horizontal, dependent hemisphere down.
  • Surgical technique: anterior interhemispheric transcallosal approach, lateral ventricle entry, septum pellucidum opening.
  • Lesion removal: stereotactic neuronavigation, piecemeal resection using specialized instruments.

Main Results:

  • Complete resection of the thalamic cavernous malformation was confirmed by surgical visualization and postoperative imaging.
  • The patient remained neurologically stable throughout the postoperative period.
  • The anterior interhemispheric transcallosal approach facilitated safe and effective removal of the deep-seated lesion.

Conclusions:

  • The anterior interhemispheric transcallosal approach is a viable and effective method for resecting deep thalamic cavernous malformations.
  • Minimally invasive techniques combined with stereotactic neuronavigation can achieve complete lesion removal with minimal morbidity.
  • This approach offers a safe option for managing complex intracranial vascular malformations.
