The aim of this literature review is to present a summary of the published literature relating
the details of the different modifications of specimen preparation for white matter dissection …

The thalamus is a deep cerebral structure that is crucial for proper neurological functioning
as it transmits signals from nearly all pathways in the body. Insult to the thalamus can …

Objective The extreme lateral supracerebellar infratentorial (ELSI) approach has the
potential to access several distinct anatomical regions that are otherwise difficult to reach …

Background Surgery for thalamic lesions is generally challenging because they are deep-
seated lesions surrounded by vital neurovascular structures. Whether neuronavigation …

The deep location of the thalamus and the complex neural circuits in the surrounding area
make surgery extremely challenging. Feasibility and advisability of using a supracerebellar …

The most common approaches in the treatment of epilepsy, the trans-sylvian selective
amygdalohippocampectomy (SAH) and the anterior temporal lobe resection (ATLR) reach …

BACKGROUND: It has always been a matter of debate which position is ideal for the
supracerebellar approach. The risk of venous air embolism (VAE) is the major deterrent for …

Objective Thalamic hemorrhage (TH) with hematoma extension into the brainstem can lead
to poor outcomes. In this study, we discuss the feasibility of the endoscopic-assisted …

To the Editor: The physiopathological mechanism associated with the wellknown efficacy of
vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) in the treatment of epilepsy remains to be fully elucidated in …

METHODS: We reviewed and analyzed the clinical outcomes and endoscopic surgical
experience of 11 patients with posterior-medial thalamic lesions. The first 4 cases used the …
