Abstract:
Brainstem glioma is a kind of gliomas with focus in the brain stem. At present, surgery is still the preferred treatment for brainstem gliomas. Resection of brainstem gliomas, because of the special anatomical structure and important physiological function, results in extremely high mortality and disability rate, and choosing a reasonable surgical program can significantly improve the prognosis of patients. This article mainly discusses the safe entry zone and surgical approach of brainstem gliomas.
