How I do it? Resection of left ventricular central neurocytoma via trans-sulcal approach.

Background: The management of lateral ventricle tumors requires a balance between maximizing safe resection and preserving neurological function.
Method: The authors present a successful case of a left lateral ventricular central neurocytoma resection. The trans-superior frontal sulcus approach was employed, providing a safe corridor while minimizing damage to the surrounding neuroanatomy. The use of an endoscope further facilitated the procedure, enabling the confirmation of complete tumor removal and the preservation of deep venous drainage and periventricular structures.
Conclusion: This case highlights the utility of the trans-sulcal approach and the benefits of endoscopic assistance in the management of lateral ventricle tumors.
