Title: Laser Surgery of Tumors and Arteriovenous Malformations of the Diencephalon
Abstract: The diencephalon is the part of the brain located between the cerebrum and the midbrain.1’2 Most of the anatomical structures that constitute the diencephalon form the boundaries of the third ventricle, which is bounded laterally by the thalamus on either side. The anterior floor of the third ventricle is composed of the hypothalamus and the posterior floor is composed of the red nuclei and subthalamic structures. The posterior wall of the third ventricle is bounded by the Sylvian aqueduct inferiorly and the stria medullaris and habenula superiorly. The anterior wall of the third ventricle is bounded by the lamina terminalis inferiorly and the anterior commisure superiorly. The roof of the third ventricle is formed by the tela choroidea, containing the paired internal cerebral veins. These arise anteriorly at the confluence of the septal and thalamostriate veins, and are united posteriorly with the veins of Rosenthal to form the vein of Galen.
