Abstract
Tumors of the lateral and third ventricles are deeply seated central lesions which always require careful treatment planning. Considering the close relationships to vital neural and vascular structures, each operative approach is challenging, especially in the light of new developments such as neuroendoscopy, stereotactically guided microsurgery or biopsy, and gamma-knife surgery. In our opinion the tumor’s exact location must be determined as decision making is influenced mainly by the expected surgical anatomy and less by the expected histology. We present the evidence of our experience over a 10-year period in which neuroimaging was available.
