Abstract
-
Landmarks may supplement neuronavigation when defining small approaches to the interhemispheric space.
-
The importance of the branches of the pericallosal artery crossing the midline is discussed. These branches are difficult to visualize on angiography but can usually be seen clearly during surgery.
-
For midline approaches, small gaps between the dorsal bridging veins can be visualized on MRI and be used to approach deep structures.
