  • Title: Temporal transchoroidal approach for tumors of the midbrain and thalamus.
    Author: Konovalov AN, Kadyrov ShU.
    Journal: Zh Vopr Neirokhir Im N N Burdenko; 2013; 77(4):16-24; discussion 24-5. PubMed ID: 24364242.
    Abstract:
    Surgical approach to the tumors of deep localization depends on the predominant direction of tumor growth. The main task of the surgeon in such cases is to choose less traumatic approach with a sufficient angle of operational action to achieve greater surgical radicality. The article describes temporal transchoroidal approach to the tumors of the midbrain, thalamus, and optic tract. This approach in selected cases allows to remove deep-seated tumors with less damage compared with pterional and subtemporal approach.
