Tóm tắt

OBJECTIVE: Cavernous malformations of the brainstem often cause severe morbidity and mortality. The literature is limited regarding the optimal surgical approach. METHODS: We present the case of a 20-year-old woman with an exophytic cavernous malformation of the brainstem RESULTS: The patient sustained a mild postoperative weakness but no bulbar symptoms. Complete resection was confirmed on magnetic resonance imaging. CONCLUSIONS: The posterior median sulcus is a safe route for exophytic lesions of the medulla.
