====== Intrinsic brainstem tumor treatment ======

[[Operative]] [[management]] of [[intrinsic brainstem tumor]]s remains challenging despite advances in electrophysiological monitoring, neuroimaging, and neuroanatomical knowledge. Surgical intervention in this region requires detailed knowledge of adjacent critical [[white matter tract]]s, [[brainstem nuclei]], brainstem vessels, and risks associated with each surgical [[approach]].

The aim of Mukherjee et al. was to systematically verify internal anatomy associated with each [[brainstem safe entry zones]] (BSEZ) via neuroimaging modalities commonly used in pre-operative planning, namely high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion tensor tractography (DTT).
