Supracerebellar Infratentorial Infratrochlear Trans-Quadrangular Lobule Approach to Pontine Cavernous Malformations.
Brainstem cavernous malformations with symptomatic hemorrhage have a poor natural history. Those without a pial or ependymal presentation are often observed given the morbidity of resection. Surgical removal is considered only in patients with accessible lesions that have repeated symptomatic hemorrhagic. ⋯ The trans-quadrangular lobule approach allows safe resection of upper pontine cavernous malformations along a superior to inferior trajectory.
