  • Title: Transcranial-transdural real-time ultrasonography during transsphenoidal resection of a large pituitary tumor. Case report.
    Author: Atkinson JL, Kasperbauer JL, James EM, Lane JI, Nippoldt TB.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 2000 Jul; 93(1):129-31. PubMed ID: 10883916.
    Abstract:
    Ultrasonography has been used in neurosurgical operative procedures for several decades. The authors report the case of a large pituitary tumor that was subtotally resected using endoscopy via the transnasal-transsphenoidal approach, with the aid of transcranial real-time ultrasound. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in which intraoperative transcranial-transdural real-time ultrasound was used to facilitate the resection of a skull base tumor.
