In this session of The Neurosurgical Case Room, we explore safe surgical corridors to the medulla oblongata and within the medulla, with a focus on anatomical precision and operative decision-making.
The discussion integrates surface landmarks, safe entry zones, cranial nerve relationships, and tract anatomy to guide approach selection in intrinsic brainstem lesions, cavernomas, and focal tumors. Emphasis is placed on respecting functional boundaries and understanding when to proceed, modify, or stop.
Designed for neurosurgery residents and early-career consultants, this video strengthens practical brainstem anatomy for real-world surgical planning.
