Brain stem cavernomas account for 9-35% of the total intracerebral cavernomatous malformations.[2]
We describe a large pontomesencephalic cavernoma in a pediatric patient resected successfully through anterior subtemporal transtentorial approach without navigation or mapping
Summary
Successful excision of a pontomesencephalic cavernoma through anterior subtemporal route without mapping: Anatomical landmarks as a road map Pravin Salunke, Sushant Sahoo, Sameer Futane. Successful excision of a pontomesencephalic cavernoma through anterior subtemporal route without mapping: Anatomical landmarks as a road map. Pediatric pontomesenchephalic cavernoma are rare and pose a unique surgical challenge.[3] Total excision without damaging the nuclei or long tracts bears a good outcome.[1,2,3] We describe a large pontomesencephalic cavernoma in a pediatric patient resected successfully through anterior subtemporal transtentorial approach without navigation or mapping.
