Extreme Lateral Supracerebellar Infratentorial Approach for Resection of a Midbrain Cavernoma
A 71-year-old female presented with weeks of intermittent left sided paresthesias. Workup with CT head demonstrated a right midbrain hyperdense lesion and an MRI demonstrating findings consistent with a cavernoma with an associated DVA. Microsurgical resection was planned via right extreme lateral supracerebellar infratentorial approach. Neuro-navigation with DTI imaging was used to plan our trajectory and entry zone. Gross total resection was achieved, and the patient tolerated the procedure well with no new neurologic deficits.
