Abstract：Objective To investigate the different microsurgical fashions treating the ventricular meningiomas in the trigones of lateral ventricles and their effects on them. Method The clinical data of 47 patients with meningiomas in the trigones of lateral ventricles, of whom, 25 were treated by microsurgery via transcortical approach and 22 were treated via trans-sulcal approach, from March, 2008 to August, 2015, were analyzed. Results Total resection of the tumors was reached in all the patients. No patient died from the microsurgery. The incidence of postoperative complication in the patients treated by the microsurgery via trans-sulcal approach is significantly lower than that in the patients by the microsurgery via transcortical approach (P<0.05). Conclusions The microsurgery via trans-sulcal approach can reduce the incidence of the postoperative complications in the patients with meningiomas in the trigones of lateral ventricles treated by microsurgery because it is of less side-injury of operation and intra-operative ultrasound may be used. But the microsurgery via tanscortical approach should be recommended in the patients with huge trigonal meningiomas.
