  • Title: Resection of middle petroclival meningioma via combined anterior transpetrosal and retrosigmoid approaches at two separate stages: 3D operative video.
    Author: Dogan I, Ocak PE, Pyle GM, Başkaya MK.
    Journal: Neurosurg Focus; 2017 Oct; 43(VideoSuppl2):V12. PubMed ID: 28967312.
    Abstract:
    Surgical access to the petroclival region poses a challenge to neurosurgeons. A wide range of approaches has been demonstrated in the past. In this video, the authors present a 69-year-old male patient who presented with 3-month history of worsening left-sided numbness. The tumor was totally removed in 2 sessions via anterior transpetrosal and retrosigmoid approaches, respectively. The authors demonstrate 2 separate skull base approaches to resect a petroclival meningioma and discuss pitfalls and problems of management for challenging meningiomas. The authors suggest that surgical approaches to petroclival meningiomas should be selected based on an individual case. A skull base team should be versatile in performing all these approaches.
