Optimal surgical pathway for lateral ventricle tumors is still controversial. The purpose of this study is to discuss the factors that affected the preference of the surgical techniques for removing lateral ventricle tumors. ⋯ Lateral ventricle tumors can be treated best by careful selection of the surgical approach according to localization of the tumor within the ventricle, the expansion side of the tumor, the size of the tumor, the origin of the vascular feeding branches, the venous drainage, and the relationship of the structures, and the histopathological features.
