Fornicotomy is a surgical procedure in which an incision is made through the vault of the brain. It is used to treat various brain diseases such as tumors, aneurysms and other lesions.
The fornix (or cerebral fornix) is the part of the brain that lies between the two hemispheres. It is made up of tissue called the meninges, which protects the brain from damage and provides nourishment to it.
Fornicotomy can be performed for both diagnostic and treatment purposes. If diagnosed, the procedure is performed to locate a tumor or aneurysm that may be located in the vault of the brain.
For treatment, fornicotomy is used to treat aneurysms that are located in the vault of the brain and can lead to hemorrhage. Surgery involves cutting the meninges in the area of the aneurysm, which reduces the pressure inside it and prevents further bleeding.
However, although fornicotomy is a common treatment for vault aneurysms, it has its own risks and complications. One of the most common complications is brain damage, which can lead to loss of memory, speech and other impairments. Bleeding, infection and other complications are also possible.
In general, fornicotomy can be an effective treatment for vault aneurysms, but requires careful preparation and operation by experienced surgeons.
Formicotomy is a surgical procedure aimed at dissecting the temporal lobe of the brain. This method refers to brain surgery and is one of the few ways to treat epilepsy. Fornicotomy is the division of the cerebral cortex, a formation located on the upper surface of the brainstem. In this case, this part of the brain will no longer be able to coordinate movement, hearing and speech will deteriorate, and vision difficulties will also arise. A person completely loses the ability to perform complex actions.
The material used for extraction is a bone flap or an element of the hard shell, or in rare cases, a nerve plexus. The technique is applicable both before the age of one year and after the formation of a person’s personality.
This operation is limited by the risk of significant impact on the body's structures. Despite progress in the field of neurosurgery and a decrease in negative consequences, it often occurs as complete loss of hearing, vision or impaired use of the limbs.
