The main goal of arteriovenous malformation surgery is to implement the total excision of the lesion by using a suitable approach that provides adequate exposure with minimal brain damage. Establishment of such an approach for the posterior diencephalon, trigone and adjacent structures presents a great surgical challenge.
A posterior inter-hemispheric trans-cingulate approach was undertaken with a 28-year-old male patient with a left posterior thalamo-caudat junction arteriovenous malformation. The lesion was successfully removed. Aside from slight monoparesis in the contralateral upper extremity during the late postoperative period, no neurological deficit resulted as a consequence of this procedure. The detailed surgical technique and subsequent clinical process are presented.
Recent surgical experience with arteriovenous malformations of the posterior thalamo-caudat junction demonstrate the effectiveness of a posterior inter-hemispheric trans-cingulate approach to the trigone region.Keywords: Cingulate gyrus, diencephalon,
