Pterional versus Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Surgery for Resection of Tuberculum Sellae Meningioma: Comparative Assessment of Opthalmological and Surgical Outcomes
Objective A Comparatively study of effectiveness and safety of traditional pterional surgery (TPS) and endoscopic endonasal trans-sphenoidal suirgery (EETS) for resection of Tuberculum sellae meningioma using visual and gross total resection as outcome measures. Methods A PUBMED and MEDLINE (2002-2014) search were performed to identify the series for tuberculum sellae meningioma (TSM) resected...
متن کاملComparison of Extended Transsphenoidal Approach and Transcranial Approach for Tuberculum Sellae Meningiomas
Tuberculum sellae meningiomas are usually removed using various transcranial approaches. The extended transsphenoidal approach also indicates for some lesions around the sella turcica. The author primarily approaches supradiaphragmatic tumors through the tuberculum sellae using the extended transsphenoidal approach, termed the “transsphenoidal-transtuberculum sellae approach” even for the tuber...
متن کاملTuberculum sellae meningiomas: surgical considerations.
We report our experience on the treatment of tuberculum sellae meningiomas (TSMs) regarding the involvement of the optic canal and clinical outcomes. We reviewed 23 patients who were operated on between January 1997 and December 2008. The surgical approach was unilateral subfrontal supraorbital osteotomy in one piece. Attempts were made to improve visual function via extra/intradural unroofing ...
متن کاملSurgical management of tuberculum sellae and planum sphenoidale meningiomas
Introduction: Tuberculum sellae and planum sfenoidale meningiomas represent 5% to 10% of intracranial meningiomas and represent a subgroup of anterior skull base meningiomas. Approximately two thirds of patients complain of failing vision in one eye as the first symptom, and monocular blindness may be present in half of patients before surgery. Due to the constant antomical relationship of thes...
متن کاملSurgical Indications of Exploring Optic Canal and Visual Prognostic Factors in Neurosurgical Treatment of Tuberculum Sellae Meningiomas
BACKGROUND Tuberculum sellae meningiomas (TSMs) present a special symptom because of the adherence and compression to the optic nerve, optic artery, and the chiasm. A significant number of patients with TSMs appear visual deficits. This study aimed to investigate the surgical indications of exploring the optic canal and visual prognostic factors in the neurosurgical treatment of TSMs. METHODS...
