The Interhemispheric Transcallosal Approach In The Treatment Of Cavernous Malformation Of The Third Ventricle Case Report And Literature Review

Authors : Benmamar Toufik .

Abstract

Intracerebral cavernomas represent 5-10% of all vascular malformations of the central nervous system. Their location in the third ventricle is very rare. Only about a hundred cases have been reported in the literature so far. We present for the first time a case of third ventricular cavernoma encountered in a 39-year-old patient admitted in our department, while detailing the various difficulties encountered in the management of this rare entity.
