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 کاملSurgical management of skull base chondroblastoma.
OBJECTIVES Chondroblastoma is a rare tumor accounting for 1% of primary bone tumors. Chondroblastoma involving the skull base is exceedingly rare with approximately 60 cases reported. We reviewed our experience with chondroblastoma of the skull base with an emphasis on current lateral skull base approaches and long-term tumor control. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING A retrospective case review at a ...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. SETTING Single tertiary academic referral center. METHODS Adults who underwent temporal bone resection were included. Variables included tumor characteristics, ablative ...
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 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...
