Abstract
Historically, neoplasms which are located in the subcortical region of the brain are considered technically difficult to access. As such, tumours in these locations are usually avoided, due to the risks associated with traversing eloquent cortex, the disrupting of white matter tracts, or the need to use narrow corridors to approach the lesion. Tubular retractors are able to gently displace brain parenchyma and white matter in an atraumatic fashion to access these deep regions. We demonstrate a minimally invasive trans-sulcal parafascicular approach using the Brainpath system (NICO Corp, Indianapolis, Indiana) to a caudate head metastasis as a representative case.
