Surgical Resectability of Skull Base Meningiomas
With recent advances in surgical technology such as preoperative imaging, neuro-monitoring, and surgical instruments, the surgical resectability of intracranial meningiomas has increased over the last two decades. This study reviewed clinical articles regarding the surgical treatment of meningiomas to clarify the role of surgical excision, with a focus on skull base meningiomas. We sub-classifi...
متن کاملCurrent Status of Endoscopic Endonasal Surgery for Skull Base Meningiomas: Review of the Literature
Endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) is expected to be ideal for the paramedian ventral skull base meningiomas, allowing wide access to the ventral skull base regions and realizing early devascularization of the tumor without retraction of the brain. We searched clinical reports of EEA for skull base meningiomas, written in English language, published before October 2014, using the PubMed litera...
متن کاملSurgical and Radiation Treatment of Skull Base Meningiomas
Meningiomas comprise approximately 20% of adult primary intracranial neoplasms. Of these, benign meningiomas are known to have an indolent growth pattern, usually without infiltration into adjacent nervous tissue. Because meningiomas have a well-circumscribed character, surgery has historically been the preferred treatment when total resection can be achieved with reasonable morbidity. Surgical...
متن کاملSurgical Management of Skull Base Meningiomas – An Overview
Meningiomas as extra axial tumours, developing from arachnoid cap cells may occur from all dural structures, cranial and spinal and rarely outside of these structures (Whittle et al. 2004). The skull base is an area with multiple neural structures as well as brain supplying adjacent arteries and veins. Meningiomas, growing on or within the skull can thus be very challenging for the neurosurgeon...
متن کاملSkull base approaches in the pediatric population.
BACKGROUND This study aimed to examine the surgical, oncologic, and developmental results of infants and children undergoing extirpation of skull base tumors. METHODS Sixty-seven children aged 0.5 to 18 years (mean, 11 years) who were operated on during a 6-year period made up the study cohort. Eighteen cases (27%) involved malignant tumors, and 49 (73%) involved benign tumors. The most commo...
