Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for cholesterol granulomas involving the petrous apex.
Surgery for cholesterol granulomas involving the petrous apex has traditionally been performed via a lateral skull base approach. We present a case-series of four cholesterol granulomas treated through the endoscopic-transsphenoid approach over the last 10 years. Drainage was successful and symptomatic improvement was obtained in all cases (follow-up 6 months-10 years). Primary 'sphenoid' lesio...
متن کاملWholly Endoscopic Permeatal Removal of a Petrous Apex Cholesteatoma
We report a case of a petrous apex cholesteatoma which was managed with a wholly endoscopic permeatal approach. A 63-year-old Caucasian male presented with a 10-year history of right-sided facial palsy and profound deafness. On examination in our clinic, the patient had a grade VI House-Brackmann paresis, otoscopic evidence of attic cholesteatoma behind an intact drum, and extensive scarring of...
متن کاملEndoscopic transrostral- transsphenoidal approach to petrous apex cholesterol granuloma: case report.
Cholesterol granuloma (CG) of the petrous apex is an inflammatory reaction to the by-products of eroded marrow cavities secondary to chronic obstruction of air cells within the petrous pyramid. We report a case of cholesterol granuloma in the left petrous bone occurring in a 28-year-old woman with an unusual presentation. The woman presented with a 6-month history of intermittent left hemicrani...
متن کاملFirst stage in predicative measure for transnasal transsphenoidal approach to petrous apex cholesterol granuloma.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS This study evaluates the feasibility of the transsphenoidal approach to petrous apex cholesterol granuloma based on the petrous angle. This is the angle centered at the vomer, extending between the medial aspect of the C3 segment of the internal carotid artery and the occipital protuberance. The aim of this study is to determine the average petrous angle in a population of...
متن کاملEndoscopic Endonasal Infrapetrous Transpterygoid Approach to the Petroclival Junction for Petrous Apex Chondrosarcoma: Technical Report
Chondrosarcomas of the skull base are rare tumors that present difficult management considerations due to the pathoanatomical relationships of the tumor to adjacent structures. We present the case of a 25-year-old female patient presenting with a chondrosarcoma of the right petrous apex extending inferiorly, medial to the cranial nerves. The tumor was resected via an endoscopic endonasal infrap...
