Surgical anatomy of supratentorial midline lesions

Surgical anatomy of supratentorial midline lesions.

OBJECT In this paper the authors correlate the surgical aspects of deep median and paramedian supratentorial lesions with the connective fiber systems of the white matter of the brain. METHODS The cerebral hemispheres of 10 cadaveric brains were dissected in a mediolateral direction by using the fiber dissection technique, corresponding to the surgical approach. CONCLUSIONS This study illum...
