The surgical management of brainstem glioma is challenging and has significant morbidity. Advances in surgical armamentarium has presented the opportunity to tackle these lesions. We present the case of a paediatric patient with a 2.3cm midbrain pilocytic astrocytoma. With the aid of tractography, neuro-navigation, 3-dimensional exoscope and a tubular retractor, near total resection of the tumour was achieved through a trans-sulcal para-fascicular approach without permanent injury to the corticospinal tract. To our knowledge this is the first report of a brainstem tumour resected using this approach and demonstrates what can be achieved with synergistic utility of evolving technologies in neurosurgery.
