    The corpus callosum connects the brain's hemispheres and receives blood supply from various arteries, including those from the cingulate gyrus.

  • 2

    Resection of the cingulate gyrus during tumor surgery poses a significant risk for ischemic injury to the corpus callosum.

  • 3

    In a study of 33 cases, ischemia in the corpus callosum was observed in 84.2% of patients who underwent cingulate gyrus resection.

  • 4

    Ischemic lesions in the corpus callosum were absent in cases where the cingulate gyrus was not resected, highlighting the surgical risk.

  • 5

    The extent of ischemia in the corpus callosum correlated with the length of cingulate gyrus resection, indicating a direct relationship.
