Endoscopic Contralateral Occipital Interhemispheric Transtentorial Superior Transvelar Approach to Pontomesencephalic Cavernous Malformations: Cadaveric Anatomy and Clinical Illustration
This study validates the practicality and efficacy of the endoscopic contralateral occipital interhemispheric transtentorial superior transvelar approach for resection of pontomesencephalic CMs. This approach affords optimal entry to the upper fourth ventricle and the dorsal pontomesencephalic junction, strategically broadening the surgical reach laterally via a pioneering "cross-court" corridor.
