Abstract
|
|
|
|
The pineal region tumor is one of the difficult ones to exposure and remove. Selecting an operative approach to the pineal region tumor involving the third ventricle requires an understanding of the microsurgical anatomy of the posterior third ventricle. There are variable surgical approaches to the pineal region. The approaches suitable for reaching the pineal region are the infratentorial supracerebellar, occipital transtentorial, posterior transcallosal, posterior transcortical and combined supra/infratentorial-transsinus approach. Considerations important in selecting one of these surgical approaches are reviewed from the anatomical viewpoint.
