Transmastoid retrosigmoid approach to the cerebellopontine angle: surgical technique.
BACKGROUND The traditional suboccipital craniotomy in the retrosigmoid approach gives limited exposure to the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) structures and necessitates cerebellar retraction, whereas the addition of drilling of the mastoid process with reflection of venous sinuses offers wider exposure of the CPA and avoids cerebellar retraction. We describe the details of the surgical technique ...
متن کاملSurgical Exposure Gained in an Extended Retrosigmoid Approach to the Cerebellopontine Angle Compared to the Traditional Retrosigmoid Approach.
AIM Retrosigmoid approach to the posterior fossa has been a popular and dependable approach for accessing the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) and petroclival region. Although this approach is commonly used, it requires cerebellar retraction and has limitations when the lesion is located ventral to the brainstem. The aim was to quantify the angle of view provided by extended retrosigmoid approach i...
متن کاملThe Retrosigmoid Suboccipital Approach to Tumours of the Cerebellopontine Angle
Tumours of the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) account for 5% to 10% of all intracranial neoplasms. Various surgical approaches are possible for providing access to tumours of the CPA. The retrosigmoid approach to the posterior cranial fossa is the latest of numerous modifications of the classic suboccipital approach originally popularized by Harvey Cushing. The aim of this review is to discuss th...
متن کاملRetrosigmoid-transtentorial approach for petroclival meningiomas: operative technique and clinical outcome
Background: Petroclival meningiomas (PCMs) are technically challenging lesions. Although the standard retrosigmoid approach is one of the most effective approaches, this route may have some limitations for the tumors extending into the supratentorial region and middle cranial fossa. We provide a modified surgical technique called retrosigmoid-transtentorial approach (RTTA) to solve these proble...
متن کاملSurgical Management and Outcome Experience of 53 Cerebellopontine Angle Meningiomas
Background Meningiomas follow schwannomas as the second most common cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors. We investigate the diagnosis, management, and prognosis of this disease. Methods We reviewed the cases with the CPA meningiomas in our institution in Shaanxi, China from January 2012 to December 2015. Charts were retrospectively examined and patients were divided into two groups: 1) surgical...
