Abstract
Thalamic tumors are uncommon, and although gross total removal (GTR) is a prospective goal, its interest is debated because the thalamus constitutes a highly functional region. The relation of choice of the surgical approach, achievability of GTR, and operative morbidity to the anatomic location of the tumor has received little attention in the medical literature.Keywords
