Abstract

Background

This report described the surgical nuance of a challenging deep-seated corpus callosum arteriovenous malformation (AVM) using a novel robotic digital microscope.

Method

A 64-year-old male was admitted to treat a ruptured corpus callosum AVM. In order to facilitate surgical manipulation under the robotic digital microscope, a gravity-assisted supine position was utilized. Intraoperatively, identifying and preserving the transit and bystander artery is important while skeletonizing the anterior cerebral artery. The nidus was totally resected and the patient was discharged without sequella.

Conclusion

It is feasible to perform complicated AVM resection under the robotic digital microscope with a rigorous surgical plan.
