In this video, the authors present an interhemispheric transcallosal transchoroidal approach to a pineal mass in a 15-year-old boy. He received emergency endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV), then an endoscopic biopsy that revealed an immature teratoma. Surgical removal was selected. The mass was located very high in the posterior third ventricle, hidden behind the splenium of the corpus callosum and the vein of Galen, so an interhemispheric transcallosal approach followed by a complete dissection of the whole choroidal fissure was chosen and allowed complete removal of the tumor. Microsurgical dissection is presented, showing clearly in detail all the neurovascular structures encountered. The video can be found here: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2021.4.FOCVID2126.

Background: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a validated treatment option for cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), even if a greater knowledge of its potential delayed complications is still being acquired.
Case Description: A 49-year-old man suffered multiple episodes of cerebral hemorrhage in an approximate 10-year follow-up interval in the context of a left central core AVM with deep venous drainage into the internal cerebral veins (Spetzler Martin Grade 4) despite being treated with gamma knife radiosurgery at two separate timepoints, and with an almost complete obliteration confirmed. Approximately 10 years after the first radiosurgery treatment, he developed severe motor aphasia, Grade 3 right hemiparesis, progressive confusion, and memory deficits.

Article Synopsis
- Stroke is a leading cause of death and cognitive impairment, with many survivors experiencing Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment (PSCI) due to changes in the corpus callosum (CC), which is vital for brain communication.
- A study involving 104 PSCI patients and 54 healthy controls found significant reductions in CC size and shape that correlate with cognitive function, especially affected by the location of the stroke lesions.
- The research suggests that specific areas of atrophy in the CC may serve as potential diagnostic markers for PSCI, linking brain structure changes to overall cognitive impairment in stroke patients.

Objective: Interhemispheric neurons in the motor section of the corpus callosum have an inhibitory effect on neurons of the contralateral motor cortex. Three quarters of patients with amyotrophic laterals sclerosis (ALS) show impaired transcallosal inhibition. We aimed to investigate whether structural changes co-occur with this functional impairment and to explore its phenotypic correlates.

Introduction: Surgery of lesions in the posterior wall of the third ventricle requires great expertise due to its deep location and important surrounding structures. This region has been traditionally reached through a supracerebellar infratentorial approach, but new options have emerged, especially with the development of neuroendoscopy.
Methods: One formalin-fixed cadaver human head was dissected.
