Infratemporal Approach For Jugular Foramen Meningioma

Primary Malignant Cerebellopontine Angle Melanoma Presenting as a Presumed Meningioma: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Primary intracranial melanomas are rare, especially in the primary cerebellopontine angle. We describe a patient with a presumed jugular foramen meningioma that was found to be of melanotic origin at surgery. We followed this 26-year-old woman with mild ataxia with serial imaging for 18 months after the initial discovery of a cerebellopontine angle extra-axial mass. She developed worsening symp...

Unilateral vocal cord palsy and dysphagia: an unusual presentation of cerebellopontine angle meningioma

Cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumours are the most common neoplasms in the posterior fossa, accounting for 5-10% of intracranial tumours. Most CPA tumours are benign, with most being vestibular schwannomas. Meningiomas arising from the jugular foramen are among the rarest of all with very few being described in the literature. Treatment options vary considerably as experience with these tumours ...

Infratemporal fossa approach type a with transcondylar-transtubercular extension for Fisch type C2 to C4 tympanojugular paragangliomas.

BACKGROUND The classic infratemporal fossa type A approach (IFTA-A) permits superior and anterior exposure of the jugular foramen. The transcondylar-transtubercular extension facilitates posteroinferior and medial access to the jugular foramen. The purpose of this study was to present the IFTA-A with transcondylar-transtubercular extension and to assess its surgical results. METHODS A review ...

Canal wall reconstruction and conductive hearing preservation for temporal bone paraganglioma.

INTRODUCTION Paraganglioma is the most common tumor of the middle ear and jugular foramen. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment; other options include observation and stereotactic radiotherapy. The standard of care of paragangliomas involving the carotid canal is the infratemporal fossa (ITF) approach proposed by Fisch in 1977. The ITF approach provides safe access for large paraganglioma expir...
