Abstract

Thalamic cavernous malformations pose clinical problems similar to cavernous malformations located in other highly eloquent areas such as the brainstem. Better imaging and continuous refinements of frameless stereotaxy have greatly increased our comfort level in resecting lesions in such critical areas. This report details the contralateral interhemispheric approach, which is very useful in approaching symptomatic cavernous malformations of the thalamus that abut the ependymal surface of the lateral or third ventricles. 2002, Elsevier Science (USA).
