Abstract

Surgery in the brainstem can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This is because the brainstem has a high density of eloquent gray and white matter structures, including cranial nerve nuclei, cranial nerve tracts, and craniospinal tracts, among others. With a better understanding of brainstem anatomy, improved neuroimaging, and advances in surgical techniques and monitoring, surgery within the brainstem can occur with reduced morbidity. In this chapter, we present a case of dorsal pontine brainstem lesion.
