Interhemispheric Approach for Resection of Thalamo-mesencephalic GBM

Removing a malignant brain tumor called glioblastoma

The patient was 25 years old and had a brain hemorrhage. In the patient's MRI, a tumor was seen in the thalamus. Since the thalamus is very difficult to reach, the doctor and the surgical team do their best to reach the tumor without putting pressure on the brain. In this surgery, the doctor uses a new technique called interhemispheric approach.

Then they put a tube in the brain. With this, the pressure in the brain is controlled for several days and the brain water does not leak.
