J Neurol Surg BDOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1692478 Introduction We analyzed perioperative risk factors for morbidity and mortality for the patients undergoing surgical intervention for vestibular schwannoma along with rates of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks that required surgery. Materials and Methods Patients undergoing surgery vestibular schwannoma were identified in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2012 to 2016 using...
J Neurol Surg BDOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1692638 Objectives A persistent craniopharyngeal canal (CPC) is a rare embryologic remnant that presents as a well-corticated defect of the midline sphenoid body extending from the sellar floor to the nasopharynx. Our case series aims to describe three unique presentations of this congenital anomaly and their subsequent management. Design Retrospective review. Setting Tertiary academic medical center. Participants Patients...
J Neurol Surg BDOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1692639 Background Lesions affecting sphenoid sinus lateral recess (SSLR) are difficult to visualize and manipulate through the transnasal routes, especially when the sinus is highly pneumatized. External approaches to this area involve extensive surgery and are associated with significant morbidity. The aims of this study are to present our experience with the endoscopic transpterygoid approach as a method for approaching lesions of the SSLR and to...
J Neurol Surg BDOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1692474 Objective To hierarchize the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA)–subarcuate artery (SAA) complex's variations in the surgical field. Background The AICA's "subarcuate loop" (SL) presents multiple variations, closely related to the SAA. AICA-SAA complex's variations may represent major issues in cerebellopontine angle (CPA) surgery. As the spectrum of configurations is originated during the development, a systematized classification...
J Neurol Surg BDOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1692485Since its description in 1985, the transapical petrosal transtentorial or Kawase approach has become a viable option of approaching lesions located in and around the apex of the petrous bone, Meckel's cave, and the anterolateral surface of the brain stem while preserving cranial nerve function. At the Brain Tumor Center, Erasmus MC, 25 patients were treated using the Kawase approach between 2004 and 2018 for various indications, including petroclival meningiomas,...
