Ventricular entry and postoperative leptomeningeal metastasis after resection of supratentorial high-grade glioma
Tumors with EC predict higher LM risk and shorter OS, while VE during resection does not increase LM risk or worsen OS. Surgeons can use VE to maximize resection of supratentorial HGGs without increasing the risk of subsequent LM.
