We present a unique case of a man presenting with progressive short-term memory deficits over 10+ years who was found to have a large intraventricular cavernoma in the anterior wall of the third ventricle with invasion of medial limbic structures. Identifying intraventricular cavernomas early is crucial to prevent substantial growth and to increase the chance of successful patient outcomes.

Cavernous malformations (CMs) are acquired vascular abnormalities of the central nervous system that are typically asymptomatic. Clinically symptomatic lesions may present with seizures, intracerebral hemorrhage, or focal neurological deficits. Very rarely, CMs have been described as the cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Background: Cavernomas of the third ventricle are rare entities that provide significant therapeutic challenges. Because of the better view of the surgical field and the possibility to achieve a gross total resection (GTR), microsurgical approaches are more commonly used to target the third ventricle. Endoscopic transventricular approaches (ETVA), on the other hand, are minimally invasive procedures that can afford a straight corridor trough the lesion, avoiding bigger craniotomies.

Background: The interhemispheric transcallosal approach is widely used to remove intraventricular lesions. Corpus callosotomy gives immediate access to the ventricular chambers but is invasive in nature. Loss of callosal fibers, although normally tolerate, may cause disturbances ranging from a classical disconnection syndrome up to minor neuropsychological changes.
