Pterional and Unifrontal Approaches for the Microsurgical Resection of Olfactory Groove Meningiomas: Experience with 61 Consecutive Patients.
AIM Olfactory groove meningiomas make up 4 to 13% of meningiomas. The first line treatment of meningiomas is surgery, but the extent and types of approaches advised for olfactory groove meningiomas are diverse, from aggressive skull base approaches to standard or minimally invasive craniotomies and endoscopic approaches. We retrospectively reviewed our series of olfactory groove meningiomas tha...
متن کاملThe Role of the Pterional Approach in the Surgical Treatment of Olfactory Groove Meningiomas: A 20-year Experience.
Background Olfactory groove meningiomas remain surgically challenging. The common microsurgical approaches suffer from late exposure of the neurovascular structures. Conversely, the pterional approach has the advantage of early dissection of the posterior neurovascular complex. Methods We reviewed the records of patients treated for olfactory groove meningioma in our department between 1991 and...
متن کاملMicrosurgical anatomic features of the olfactory nerve: relevance to olfaction preservation in the pterional approach.
OBJECTIVE The pterional approach represents the standard approach for most lesions of the anterior and middle cranial fossa. It requires some degree of frontal lobe retraction, which may result in temporary or permanent damage of olfaction because of nerve avulsion or mechanical compression. The purpose of this study, based on microanatomic dissection of human cadaveric specimens, was to review...
متن کاملCase Report: Co-Occurrence of Pituitary Adenoma with Suprasellar and Olfactory Groove Meningiomas
Introduction: The co-existence of pituitary adenoma and meningioma is extremely rare. It is even rarer in patients with no previous known risk factors for either tumour. Here, we present a case of synchronous non-functioning pituitary adenoma with suprasellar and olfactory groove meningiomas in a patient without previous irradiation. Methods: The tumours were diagnosed on MRI in the 65-year-ol...
متن کاملThe extended pterional approach allows excellent results for removal of anterior cranial fossa meningiomas.
Objective To describe a unique operative strategy, instead the classical pterional approach, and to analyses it safety and effectiveness for removal of anterior cranial fossa meningiomas. Method We identify 38 patients with tuberculum sellae and olphactory groove meningiomas operated between 1986 and 2013. Medical charts, operative reports, imaging studies and clinical follow-up evaluations wer...
