The video describes the staged resection of a midbrain ganglioglioma growing into the sylvian aqueduct, bulging downward into the fourth ventricle and upward into the third ventricle. The lesion had been diagnosed and treated four years earlier in another institution, but the tumor grew over the time and the pediatric patient was referred to our department for surgical treatment. Due to the tumor dumbbell appearance, one-stage resection was considered too dangerous and therefore a staged resection in two procedures was planned. Telo-velar approach allowed for removal of approximately 2/3 of the lesion
