The consequences of ventricular entry during resection of high-grade gliomas (HGG) are uncertain and often not detectable clinically. ⋯ The association between ventricular entry during HGG resection and tumor dissemination, hydrocephalus, and decreased survival invites investigations to understand this link. Neurosurgeons and neuro-oncologists must be aware of the consequences of ventricular entry during surgery for HGG.
