  • Title: Interhemispheric transchoroidal approach to resect third ventricular teratoma.
    Author: Ito Y, Inoue T, Tamura A, Tsutsumi K.
    Journal: Neurosurg Focus; 2016 Jan; 40 Video Suppl 1():2016.1.FocusVid.15401. PubMed ID: 26722682.
    Abstract:
    The authors demonstrate an interhemispheric transchoroidal approach for third ventricular teratoma resection. Interhemispheric dissection exposed the corpus callosum at a length of about 2 cm. A callosotomy was made to enter into the right lateral ventricle. After septal vein ligation, dissection was made of the space between the right fornix and right internal cerebral vein (ICV); thus bilateral fornix and left ICV would be retracted to the left; right choroid plexus, right ICV to the right. By this transchoroidal approach, the foramen of Monro was extended posteriorly, providing enough of a surgical corridor to resect a posteriorly located third ventricular tumor.
