Transcingulate approach to lateral ventricle tumors. Technical case report.
Surgical experience with treatment of two lateral ventricle tumors using the anterior transcingulate approach demonstrate that this route provides an excellent approach to tumors attached to the lateral wall of the anterior ventricle, without causing gross neurologic deficits. This approach deserves attention as an alternative to the transcallosal approach in selected patients.
