  • Title: The transcallosal transchoroidal approach to the diencephalic-mesencephalic junction: how I do it.
    Author: Cossu G, González-López P, Daniel RT.
    Journal: Acta Neurochir (Wien); 2019 Nov; 161(11):2329-2334. PubMed ID: 31418066.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Different approaches have to be considered for lesions of the diencephalic-mesencephalic junction based on the localization, extension of the lesion, and relationship to the ventricular system. METHOD: We present the case of a young lady who presented with a cavernoma of the junction of midbrain and diencephalon after an episode of hemorrhage. The microsurgical anatomy of the trans-callosal trans-choroidal approach for this lesion is described along with its advantages and limitations. CONCLUSION: The trans-choroidal approach allows adequate access to lesions of the diencephalic-mesencephalic junction that project into the third ventricle.
