“…These symptoms can include headache, imbalance, visual field deficits, memory difficulty, personality changes, cognitive impairment, weakness, and seizures. 9,16,23,25,30,35,40 The signs and symptoms prior to diagnosis in this series were typical of patients with largesized tumors located in the lateral ventricle. The majority of the patients were children who presented with signs of increased ICP.…”

“…48 Transcortical approaches to the lateral ventricle often broach the tracts of the visual pathways, resulting in varying degrees of temporary and permanent deficits (Tables 2-4). 16,30,35,40 The optic tract can be found in the superior medial region of the temporal horn as it courses toward the lateral geniculate body. The radiations then spread toward the calcarine cortex along the Meyer-Archambault loop in the superior and lateral aspect of the temporal horn and in the tapetum over the roof and lateral aspect of the atrium and occipital horn.…”

“…7,16,[35][36][37]43 Symptoms are produced only after there is obstruction of the normal CSF pathways, compression of the adjacent neural structures, or hydrocephalus induced by overproduction of CSF. 35,36,48 Complete resection of many, but not all, of these lesions is possible via the transcortical or transcallosal route. The location of the lateral ventricles makes passing through cortical structures mandatory in all approaches to these lesions.…”

Object Tumors of the lateral ventricle can be removed via two major approaches: the transcallosal or the transcortical route. The purpose of this study is to discuss the techniques and outcomes in transcortical surgery of tumors located in the lateral ventricle. Methods An experience with 29 consecutive lateral ventricular tumors resected via the transcortical route, over a 5-year period, is presented. The risks, complications, and outcomes of this surgical series, as well as those reported in the literature, are discussed. Surgical approaches to all five regions of the lateral ventricle are described. Neuropsychological, functional, and neurological outcomes are evaluated. Conclusions The transcortical technique makes it possible to resect lesions in each of the five regions of the lateral ventricle. It provides superior microsurgical working space and flexibility for maneuvering within the lateral ventricle. The key to a successful transcortical approach is an understanding of the functional anatomy of eloquent cortex to be broached, the location of the lesion, and its vascular supply. A clear understanding of the advantages and limitations of the transcortical approach makes performing this procedure for resection of large lesions in the ventricle both safe and effective. The majority of the patients in this series (86%) had a good outcome, returning to baseline functional status and suffering minimal morbidity. In the microsurgical era, transcortical surgery–related postoperative morbidity and outcome are dependent more on tumor histological type and site of origin than on approach.

The aim of this paper is to provide the long-term surgical outcome of patients with intracranial intraventricular tumors. Materials and methods:Twenty-five patients operated on for intraventricular tumors between June 1999 and June 2014 are reviewed. Data from before, during, and after surgery were obtained from the patients' files and patients were followed regularly after surgery. Results:The group of patients comprised 15 females and 10 males with a mean age of 31.6 ± 16 years. The majority were adults and only 3 children were included. Three, 4, and 18 patients had tumors in the 4th, 3rd, and frontal horn of the lateral ventricles, respectively. All patients showed a varying degree of hydrocephalus and headache was the most common presenting symptom. Overall, central neurocytoma was the most common pathological diagnosis. Complications were found in only 4 patients and, in long-term follow-up, 3 patients had died due to the malignant nature or upgrading to a malignant tumor and the rest were alive. Conclusion:Total removal of the intraventricular tumor increases survival because the majority of these tumors are benign and slowgrowing. The type of surgical intervention should be chosen according to the location of the tumor in the ventricular system.
