Summary
This study details a successful surgical removal of a cavernous malformation (CM) adjacent to a medullary venous malformation. The transsylvian transventricular approach preserved the venous malformation, offering a viable option for trigonal lesions.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Vascular Neurology
- Neuroradiology
Background:
- Cavernous malformations (CMs) are vascular anomalies that can occur in the brain.
- Association with other vascular malformations, such as medullary venous malformations, is rare.
- Surgical management of CMs requires careful consideration of adjacent structures, particularly venous drainage pathways.
