AB065. Basal ganglia germ cell tumor presenting with visual loss in adult: a case report
Basal ganglia germinoma in adult is a rare occurrence, and due to its location, the surgical approach to access the mass should be individualized in each patient. Transcortical approach from the left Kocher's point was a safe and accessible approach for our patient. As the tumor was close to important structures such as hypothalamus, thalamus, and basal ganglia, only partial excision was done.
