Microsurgery of tumors in the third ventricle via transcallosal-interforniceal approach

Objective: To explore the method and curative effect of transcallosal interforniceal approach microsurgical operation resection of the third ventricle tumors.Methods: The transcallosal interforniceal approach in microsurgical operation resection of third ventricle tumors 13 cases,and analyze the effect.Results: Total resection was achieved in 10 cases,subtotal resection in 3 cases,operation was successful.Polyuria,polydipsia,electrolyte disturbance occurred in 7 cases after operation,3 patients with central high fever,somnolence in 2 cases,3 cases of transient mutism,after treatment of 1~2 weeks to discharge.Conclusion: The transcallosal interforniceal approach along the anatomic space contributes to higher total tumor resection rate,less postoperative complications.
