Surgical Treatment for Falcotentorial Meningiomas

چکیده
Among intracranial meningiomas, falcotentorial meningiomas, occurring at the junction of the falx cerebri and tentorial dural folds, are extremely rare. Because of their deep location, they are surrounded by critical structures, and have been regarded as one of the most challenging lesions for surgical treatment. In this study, we describe our surgical strategy for falcotentorial meningiomas and provide a review of our experience.

The classical approaches to this area are limited for lesions located bilaterally and especially when the lesion extends also below the tentorium as it may occur with meningiomas. Kawashima et al. reported, in anatomic studies, a new occipital transtentorial approach: the occipital bi-tran...

متن کاملComparative Characteristics of Surgical Treatment with Subsequent Radiotherapy for Brain Typical and Atypical Meningiomas
Treatment option for meningiomas is their maximum radical surgical resection. Despite the radical resection, recidives of benign meningiomas develop up to 15 years approximately in 28% of patients . This research was designed to study the quality of life after the second surgery with subsequent radiation and chemotherapy in patients with recidives of brain meningiomas. Carrying out routine irra...
