Abstract

<abstract> <title>Abstract</title> <p> <italic>Objective</italic>. Numerical implication of sulcal and gyral topography for surgical approaches has not been studied. <italic>Methods</italic>. Percentage gain of distance using sulci as compared to that of gyri was calculated by measuring distances toward the ventricles in 15 hemispheres. <italic>Results</italic>. Superior frontal sulcus was closest proving greater than 50% gain in distance compared to superior frontal gyrus; inferior temporal sulcus provided greater gain in the temporal lobe. <italic>Conclusion</italic>. Sulci provide upto 58% distance gain. For trans-gyral approaches, MFG and ITG were found closer to the respective ventricular area.</p> </abstract>
