ABSTRACT

Intraventricular tumors represent a big challenge in neurosurgical approach because of their deep localization, intimal association with critical arterial vessels, and circumferential relations with withe matter tracts. It is why; surgical access to these regions must include anatomical issues to minimize injuries to structures of vital importance and functionability. We present 3 cases which where admitted to the Neurosurgery Service of Hospital Mexico between August 2012 and February 2013, in Costa Rica.
