Endoscopic occipital transtentorial transrecess approach for resection of a challenging midbrain-thalamic cavernous malformation: illustrative case
EOTTA, combined with DTI-guided neuronavigation and endoscopic magnification, can permit safe, effective resection of selected midbrain-thalamic cavernous malformations while minimizing cortical retraction and injury to critical tracts. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25537.
