Background Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) in deep eloquent areas present a
surgical challenge. Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) may present itself as a safe …

OBJECTIVE Several case series have investigated the use of laser interstitial thermal
therapy (LITT) to treat cavernous malformations (CMs), for either seizure control or reduction …

Purpose Lesions located in subcortical areas are difficult to safely access. Tubular retractors
have been increasingly used successfully with low complication profile to access lesions by …

Metallic tools such as graspers, forceps, spatulas, and clamps have been used in proximity
to delicate neurological tissue and the risk of damage to this tissue is a primary concern for …

DISCUSSION: The patient underwent a right parietal craniotomy for resection of the mass.
The ventricle was accessed through a transsulcal approach through the intraparietal sulcus …

Neurosurgery is a highly specialized field: it often involves surgical manipulation of noble
structures and cerebral retraction is frequently necessary to reach deep-seated brain …

Objective Tubular retractors are increasingly used due to their low complication rates,
providing easier access to lesions while minimizing trauma from brain retraction. Our study …

Background Transsulcal tubular retractor–assisted minimally invasive parafascicular surgery
changes the surgical strategy for deep-seated lesions by promoting a deficit-sparing …

Objectives Deep lesions located in lateral and third ventricles can be accessed thorough
interhemispheric transcallosal or transcortical trans-ventricular approaches. Traditional brain …

In our study, we document the case of a 48-year-old patient who presented at our clinic with
various neurological disturbances. Magnetic Resonance Imaging revealed the presence of …
