(A) View of the corpus callosum (CC); (B) a 2 cm section of the CC was opened to enter the lateral ventricle; (C) the choroidal fissure was split to enter the third ventricle, * superior part of tumor seen through the choroidal fissure; (D) postresection view of the prepontine cistern showing the basilar artery on the right and the left abducens nerve at the center of the picture as it enters Dorello's canal.
