Publisher: | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins | Abstract: | BACKGROUND: Approaching ambient cistern lesions is still a challenge because of deep location and related white matter tracts (WMTs) and neural structures. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the white matter anatomy in the course of 3 types of transtemporal-transchoroidal fissure approaches (TTcFA) to ambient cistern by using fiber dissection technique with translumination and magnetic resonance imaging fiber tractography. METHODS: Eight formalin-fixed cerebral hemispheres were dissected on surgical corridor from the temporal cortex to the ambient cistern by using Klingler's method. The trans-middle temporal gyrus, trans-inferior temporal sulcus ( TITS), and trans-inferior temporal gyrus (TITG) approaches were evaluated. WMTs that were identified during dissection were then reconstructed on the Human Connectome Project 1021 individual template for validation. RESULTS: The trans-middle gyrus approach interrupted the U fibers, arcuate fasciculus (AF), the ventral segment of inferior frontoocipital fasciculus (IFOF), the temporal extensions of the anterior commissure (AC) posterior crura, the tapetum (Tp) fibers, and the anterior loop of the optic radiation (OR). The TITS approach interrupted U fibers, inferior longitudinal fasciculus (ILF), IFOF, and OR. The TITG approach interrupted the U fibers, ILF, andOR. The middle longitudinal fasciculus, ILF, and uncinate fasciculus (UF) were not interrupted in the trans-middle gyrus approach and the AF, UF, AC, and Tp fiberswere not interrupted in the TITS/gyrus approaches. CONCLUSION: Surgical planning of the ambient cistern lesions requires detailed knowledge aboutWMTs. Fiber dissection and tractography techniques improve the orientation during surgery and may help decrease surgical complications. | Description: | Farouk, Mohamed/0000-0001-9051-3421; Gungor, Abuzer/0000-0002-2792-7610; Adiguzel, Esat/0000-0002-1110-5786; Yakar, Fatih/0000-0001-7414-3766; Egemen, Emrah/0000-0003-4930-4577; Dogruel, Yucel/0000-0003-4314-5579 | URI: | https://doi.org/10.1093/ons/opaa272 | ISSN: | 2332-4252 2332-4260 |
