Excerpt

Approaching deep-seated lesions in or around the thalamus/hypothalamus or mesencephalon is challenging to even the most experienced neurosurgeon. Numerous surgical corridors, all carefully planned, patient-tailored and surgeon-tailored, have been used, including the basal anterior interhemispheric approach used in the current paper by Teramoto and Bertalanffy [10]. An inherent limitation common to all approaches, be it variants of the anterior interhemispheric approach (via unilateral subfrontal or bilateral basal corridors [5, 7, 9]) or the interhemispheric, trans-callosal, subchoroidal approach [1, 3, 4, 6, 8], is the limited exposure due to critical neurovascular structures.
