Among various possibilities, the parietal transcortical approach (PTA) is currently used in this endeavor. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted on the surgical approaches used for the resection of intraventricular tumors, focusing on the PTA. Results: This approach presents multiple potential sequelae, some of them clinically recognized, sequelae that have varying clinical significance. Conclusion: The PTA should be replaced by other safer ones.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/placeholders/specialty/neuroanatomy-and-neurophysiology.png","publishDate":"2025-05-02T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_213_2025","categories":["Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology","Original Article"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/api/articles/5d62a546-3431-4e40-88e5-021cbdea1b2a/pdf"}
