Abstract
A review of the literature concerning lesions of the pineal region, the quadrigeminal plate and of the posterior part of the third ventricle leads to the conclusion that the choice and the succession of diagnostic as well as of therapeutic procedures is very different from one neurosurgical center to another. Many reports deal only or essentially with the results of an operative approach, but little attention is paid to the biology of the lesions.
