Anterior interhemispheric approach for tuberculum sellae meningioma.
BACKGROUND The tuberculum sellae meningioma (TSM) arises from the tuberculum sellae, chiasmatic sulcus, and limbus sphenoidale. OBJECTIVE To retrospectively analyze patients with TSM who underwent surgery via an anterior interhemispheric approach, with special attention to visual outcomes. METHODS Nine consecutive patients between April 2004 and December 2009 were examined. Visual impairmen...
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 کاملMRI research of diaphragma sellae in patients with pituitary adenoma.
This study is to investigate the clinical significance of diaphragma sellae in patients with pituitary adenoma by MR images. A total of 47 cases of pituitary adenoma patients were enrolled in this study. Preoperative and postoperative MR scanning together with preoperative 3D-GE sequential scanning were performed. A series of parameters of diaphragma sellae were measured and compared. Tumor hei...
متن کاملPreoperative and Postoperative Pituitary Function in Patients with Tuberculum Sellae Meningioma -Based on Pituitary Provocation Tests-
Given the anatomical proximity of tuberculum sellae meningioma (TSM) to the hypothalamo-pituitary system, pituitary function impairments are of great concern. We retrospectively investigated pituitary function changes following surgery in patients with TSM using pituitary provocation tests (PPTs). Thirty-one patients (27 females and 4 males) with TSM underwent initial transcranial surgery (29 p...
متن کاملExtended endoscopic endonasal surgery using three-dimensional endoscopy in the intra-operative MRI suite for supra-diaphragmatic ectopic pituitary adenoma.
We describe a supra-diaphragmatic ectopic pituitary adenoma that was safely removed using the extended endoscopic endonasal approach, and discuss the value of three-dimensional (3D) endoscopy and intra-operative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to this type of procedure. A 61-year-old-man with bitemporal hemianopsia was referred to our hospital, where MRI revealed an enhanced suprasellar tumor ...
