Background
Intraventricular meningiomas account for 0.5–3% of all intracranial meningiomas. The majority occur in the atrium of the lateral ventricle. Surgical experience with intraventricular meningiomas is rare in the literature, and several surgical approaches exist.Methods
Between 1987 and 2007, 13 patients underwent resection of intraventricular meningiomas. All patients had tumors of the lateral ventricles. These patients were retrospectively identified and their records reviewed.Results
Eleven tumors were found in the atrium, one in the frontal horn, and one in the body of the lateral ventricle. In 9 of 13 cases, the tumor occurred in the left lateral ventricle. Patients commonly presented with headache and cognitive difficulties. A visual field deficit was noted preoperatively in one patient. Four patients underwent preoperative angiography, but no patients underwent embolization. Gross total resection was achieved in all cases: 6 via a middle temporal gyrus approach, 5 via a superior parietal lobule approach, and 2 via a transcallosal approach. Image-guided stereotaxis was used in 6 cases. Pathology was benign in 12 of 13 cases; atypical features were identified in one case. There was no operative mortality, and no patients showed evidence of recurrence. Postoperatively, 3 patients developed new cognitive-linguistic deficits that subsequently resolved. One of these patients developed a new visual field deficit after surgery.Conclusions
Several approaches are available for the surgical treatment of intraventricular meningiomas. Tumor location, extension, and laterality drive the selection algorithm for these approaches. Preoperative angiography is rarely useful, and surgical cure is the rule. 相似文献2.

Background
Endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery attracts an increasing number of young neurosurgeons. This recent technique requires specific technical skills for the approaches to non-pituitary tumors (expanded endoscopic endonasal surgery). Actual residents’ busy schedules carry the risk of compromising their laboratory training by limiting significantly the dedicated time for dissections.Objective
To enhance and shorten the learning curve in expanded endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery, we propose a reproducible model based on the implantation of a polymer via an intracranial route to provide a pathological retro-infundibular expansive lesion accessible to a virgin expanded endoscopic endonasal route, avoiding the ethically-debatable need to hundreds of pituitary cases in live patients before acquiring the desired skills.Methods
A polymer-based tumor model was implanted in 6 embalmed human heads via a microsurgical right fronto-temporal approach through the carotido-oculomotor cistern to mimic a retro-infundibular tumor. The tumor's position was verified by CT-scan. An endoscopic endonasal trans-sphenoidal trans-tubercular trans-planum approach was then carried out on a virgin route under neuronavigation tracking.Results
Dissection of the tumor model from displaced surrounding neurovascular structures reproduced live surgery's sensations and challenges. Post-implantation CT-scan allowed the pre-removal assessment of the tumor insertion, its relationships as well as naso-sphenoidal anatomy in preparation of the endoscopic approach.Conclusion
Training on easily reproducible retro-infundibular approaches in a context of pathological distorted anatomy provides a unique opportunity to avoid the need for repetitive live surgeries to acquire skills for this kind of rare tumors, and may shorten the learning curve for endoscopic endonasal surgery. 相似文献3.

Objective
Total resection of cranio-orbital tumors without any major complications is still a challenge for neurosurgeons. Intraoperative electrophysiologic monitoring and neuronavigational system have been widely used in microneurosurgery, but their effects during microsurgical treatment of cranio-orbital tumors warrant further investigation.Methods
Thirty-eight patients with cranio-orbital tumors admitted to our hospital underwent microsurgery assisted by intraoperative electrophysiologic monitoring. We also simultaneously performed intraoperative neuronavigation in 20 patients. A retrospective review of clinical notes, operation records and prognoses of all patients was performed.Results
Gross total resection was achieved in 29 patients (76%), near total resection in 5 (13%), subtotal resection in 3 (8%) and partial resection in 1 (3%). With the helps of electromyogram (EMG) monitoring of levator palpebrae superioris (LPS) muscle and navigation system, no surgical damages to the oculomotor nerve and other important structures occurred. A follow-up study showed that 31 patients (82%) resumed normal lives (Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score 5), 5 patients (13%) had independent lives (GOS score 4), and 2 patients (5%) were unable to live independently (GOS score 3).Conclusion
Microsurgical treatment assisted by intraoperative electrophysiologic monitoring and neuronavigation might be a useful method for resection of cranio-orbital tumors, especially better for protection of the important cranial nerve and structure in the kull base. 相似文献4.
Lateral skull base meningiomas, particularly sphenoorbital meningiomas, sometimes extend extremely widely into adjacent structures including the paranasal sinuses. For endonasal skull base reconstruction using a vascularized nasoseptal flap for prevention of postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, the simultaneous combined transcranial and endoscopic endonasal approach was applied for resection of these extensive tumors. We performed a retrospective review of four patients treated with the simultaneous combined transcranial and endoscopic endonasal approach for resection of lateral skull base meningiomas. Preoperative characteristics, tumor extent, extent of resection, complications, and postoperative outcomes were analyzed. The tumor extended into the paranasal sinus, infratemporal fossa, and pterygopalatine fossa in all patients. Extracranial extension into the cavernous sinus or superior orbital fissure was detected in two and three patients, respectively. In one patient without extension into the cavernous sinus and superior orbital fissure, gross total resection was achieved, whereas in the other three patients, subtotal resection was performed, and small residual masses of the tumor remained in the cavernous sinus or superior orbital fissure to minimize the risk of postoperative ocular nerve damage. No patients experienced postoperative CSF leak. The simultaneous combined transcranial and endoscopic endonasal approach is useful for a subgroup of patients with lateral skull base meningiomas for prevention of postoperative CSF leak. Particularly in recurrent cases in which vascularized flaps from the transcranial side are likely unavailable due to prior tumor resection, this combined approach is worth considering depending on tumor extension into the paranasal sinus. 相似文献

Background
The aim of this study is to present our experience in treating paediatric sinonasal and skull base malignancies with exclusively endonasal endoscopic approach and measure its feasibility.Methods
This study is a retrospective review of seven patients under age of 19?years who have sinonasal and skull base malignancies and treated with endoscopic endonasal approach. The main outcome measures are the surgical resection, complications, survival rate, recurrence and gross facial growth.Results
Radical tumour resection was achieved in all cases with negative margins; no major complications were observed. Mean follow-up was 65?months and no evidence of recurrences. Facial growth assessment showed no gross changes.Conclusion
In selected cases, endoscopic endonasal approach of paediatric sinonasal and skull base malignancies could be an alternative approach. Despite of our few cases, it showed a feasibility of this technique with satisfactory oncological control. A further collaborative study with larger number is needed to have more valid conclusion. 相似文献7.

Objective
To obtain detailed insight into neuro-ophthalmological characteristics and pathophysiology of hemianoptic complications after occipital transtentorial surgery.Methods
We reviewed the cases of 14 patients surgically treated by the occipital transtentorial approach. Treated lesions included 6 posterior third ventricle tumors, including pineal and tectal lesions, 3 falco-tentorial meningiomas, and 5 superior cerebellar lesions. The surgeries were performed by the unilateral occipital transtentorial approach with patients in the prone position.Results
Visual functions were preoperatively normal in all patients. After surgery, 11 patients (79%) showed hemianoptic complications detected by a confrontation test in the immediate postoperative period. The condition began to improve in the early postoperative days. The visual field recovered completely in 6 patients within 10 days, 2 patients recovered within 3 months, and 3 patients complained of permanent visual field defects. Optometric neuro-ophthalmic evaluation in the early postoperative period failed to detect complete homonymous hemianopsia, but homonymous inferior quadrantanopia and scotomatous defects were observed in 6 patients. These visual field defects were permanent in 3 patients. Postoperative MRI showed no morphological abnormality except these three patients. Atrophic change of the occipital lobe with preservation of striate cortex was associated with persistent visual field defects in two patients. Cerebral blood flow evaluation by single photon emission computed tomography suggested that temporary local hyperperfusion of the retracted occipital region when visual field defect was present.Conclusion
Hemianoptic visual field defects can recover via inferior quadrantanopia or scotomatous defect. All of these defects are attributable to injury to the optic radiation as well to the occipital lobe. Hyperperfusion of the retracted occipital region may underlie the pathophysiology of hemianoptic complications after the occipital transtentorial approach. 相似文献8.

Objective
To retrospectively study the outcomes of vestibular schwannoma (VS) resection.Methods
Between January 2003 and December 2006, 103 consecutive patients who had undergone VS resection were included in this study. Medical records, operation summaries, follow-up data, and neuroradiological findings were analyzed. The relationship between tumor size, location, and topography relative to the facial nerve bundles was studied for a mean duration of 16 months (range: 3–39 months).Results
Complete tumor resection in combination with anatomic preservation of the facial nerve was achieved in 101 (98.1%) cases. The facial nerve was fully preserved in 100% of cases with small or medium tumors and in 37/39 patients with large tumors. Overall, 83.5% of patients had normal or near-normal facial nerve function 3–12 months post-surgically. The mortality rate was 0%.Conclusions
Even in large VS, preservation of facial nerve function (H-B Grade I or II) should be prioritized over total resection. For tumors >3 cm, the goal of low morbidity and maintenance of normal facial nerve function can be attained with the retrosigmoid transmeatal approach, refined microsurgical technique, and intraoperative facial nerve monitoring. 相似文献9.
Objective
Bilateral hyperostotic sphenoorbital meningiomas are extremely uncommon. Due to extensive infiltration of the orbits and the frontotemporal skull base, often only a subtotal tumor resection is feasible. Thus far, no treatment algorithms have been suggested for this rare tumor entity. We report on the surgical management of 3 patients.Methods
All 3 patients underwent a pterional approach for surgical resection. Surgery was performed in two stages, primarily treating the most affected side. Treatment consisted of microsurgical resection of the infiltrated sphenoid wing and orbital walls, intraorbital tumor removal and optic nerve decompression. Orbital wall reconstruction was performed using titanium mesh allografts. Radiation therapy was administered in 1 patient with residual tumor infiltration of the cavernous sinus.Results
Our series includes 2 women (51 and 68 years old) suffering from simultaneous progressive bilateral loss of vision and proptosis and 1 woman (69 years old) who developed contralateral disease after surgical resection of a hyperostotic sphenoorbital meningioma 16 years earlier. After optic nerve decompression, vision improved in 2 cases after surgery. Initial visual deterioration was observed in 1 case but improved on longterm follow-up. The degree of proptosis was reduced in all treated eyes.Conclusion
In bilateral hyperostotic sphenoorbital meningiomas we propose staged surgery when clinical and radiological progression is observed. Subtotal tumor resection with the aim of optic nerve decompression and subsequent orbital reconstruction provides satisfactory results. The most affected eye should be treated first. In case of additional cavernous sinus infiltration, focal radiation therapy can be considered. 相似文献10.

Purpose
Purely endoscopic endonasal approaches to surgical resection of pediatric suprasellar craniopharyngiomas are uncommonly performed. The aim of the study is to assess the feasibility and to describe the short-term outcomes of endonasal endoscopic approaches for the gross total resection of suprasellar craniopharyngiomas in the pediatric population.Methods
A combined neurosurgical–otolaryngologic team performed gross total resection of craniopharyngiomas in seven pediatric patients (mean age 9.6 years) at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia over 2011–2012. Short-term outcomes were analyzed over a mean follow-up period of 6.3 months.Results
All tumors involved the sellar and/or suprasellar space and contained some cystic component. The mean maximal tumor diameter was 31.5 mm (range 18.5–62.0 mm). Using a binostril approach, gross total tumor resection was obtained in all patients (100 %). All patients with preoperative visual dysfunction demonstrated improvement in visual acuity. New or stable panhypopituitarism was observed in all cases. All patients developed postoperative diabetes insipidus, and cerebrospinal fluid leak occurred in one patient (15 %).Conclusions
Complete radiographic resection of pediatric craniopharyngioma can be achieved via a purely endoscopic endonasal approach. In particular, this approach can be performed safely using the “two-nostrils-four-hands” technique with intraoperative neuronavigation. This approach should be highly considered in patients with progressive visual dysfunction. Further studies are needed to characterize the long-term surgical and clinical outcome of pediatric patients treated with this surgical approach. 相似文献11.

Objectives
The study is aimed at evaluating neuroendoscopic procedures in the management of various intra-cranial intra-ventricular lesions.Methods
We retrospectively review 24 consecutive patients harboring various intra-ventricular lesions with or without associated hydrocephalus, operated and managed by the authors between December 2002 and December 2007. Depending on the preoperative imaging and working diagnosis, endoscopic biopsy or endoscopic resection/debulking, along with concomitant treatment of hydrocephalus via third ventriculostomy or fenestration of the septum pellucidum and ventriculo-peritoneal shunting, were done.Results
The single endoscopic procedure was successful in most of the patients (22/24), where the goals of surgery in attaining a diagnostic biopsy or resection, and simultaneous treatment of hydrocephalus, were attained helping guide further therapy. The endoscopic procedure was the only procedure needed in most of the patients.Conclusions
The endoscopic procedures carried a high success rate in the management of intra-ventricular lesions, and were especially valuable in patients harboring chemo and/or radiosensitive deep seated tumors. 相似文献12.

Introduction
Olfaction is commonly considered as secondary among the sensory functions, perhaps reflecting a lack of interest in sparing olfaction after surgery for the olfactory groove meningiomas (OGM). However, considering the repercussions of olfaction for the quality of life, the assessment of post-operative olfaction should be necessary. We retrospectively reviewed the olfactory outcome in patients with OGM and investigated the factors associated with sparing the post-operative olfaction.Methods
Between 1993 and 2012, 40 patients with OGM underwent surgical resection and estimated the olfactory function using the Korean version of “Sniffin'Sticks” test (KVSS). Variable factors, such as tumor size, degree of preoperative edema, tumor consistency, preoperative olfactory function, surgical approaches, patient's age, and gender were analyzed with attention to the post-operative olfactory function.Results
Anatomical and functional preservation of olfactory structures were achieved in 26 patients (65%) and 22 patients (55%), respectively. Among the variable factors, size of tumor was significant related to the preservation of post-operative olfaction. (78.6% in size <4 cm and 42.3% in size >4 cm, p = 0.035). Sparing the olfaction was significantly better in patients without preoperative olfactory dysfunction (84.6%) compared with ones with preoperative olfactory dysfunction (40.7%, p = 0.016). The frontolateral approach achieved much more excellent post-operative olfactory function (71.4%) than the bifrontal approach (36.8%, p = 0.032).Conclusions
If the tumor was smaller than 4 cm and the patients did not present olfactory dysfunction preoperatively, the possibility of sparing the post-operative olfaction was high. Among the variable surgical approaches, frontolateral route may be preferable sparing the post-operative olfaction. 相似文献14.

Objectives
With respect to its characteristic pattern of growth from the orbit into the intracranial space toward the chiasm, patients with optic nerve sheath meningiomas (ONSM) are threatened to loose function of both optic nerves. Fortunately, in less than 5% both optic nerves are involved initially. Hence, prevention of vision of the contralateral eye is the foremost aim of any therapy. Performing pre-chiasmatic transection might offer a further treatment option to avoid further tumor growth toward the chiasm.Patients and methods
In this retrospective study 12 patients with ONSM and blindness of the affected eye were included. The surgical approach was performed either from pterional intradural or as a combined approach from pterional extra- and intradural.Results
Without any exceptions, vision of the contralateral eye could be preserved and did not show any deterioration after surgery or during the follow-up time of 50.6 months. Furthermore in 58.3% of patients gross total tumor resection could be achieved. During follow up observation in 67% of patients no further tumor progress or recurrences could be observed. 4 patients, however, showed delayed tumor progress or recurrences that were treated by radiotherapy.Conclusion
Pre-chiasmatic transection of the optic nerve might offer a surgical treatment option to control tumor growth and to preserve vision of the contralateral eye. 相似文献17.

Objective
Based on surgical outcomes of patients with infratentorial meningiomas surgically treated at our institution, we analyzed the predictors for surgical resection, recurrence, complication, and survival.Methods
Of surgically treated 782 patients with intracranial meningioma, 158 (20.2%) consecutive cases of infratentorial location operated on between April 1993 and May 2013 at out institute were reviewed retrospectively. The patients had a median age of 57.1 years (range, 16--77 years), a female predominance of 79.7%, and a mean follow-up duration of 48.4 months (range, 0.8--242.2 months).Results
Gross total resection (Simpson''s grade I & II) was achieved in 81.6% (129/158) of patients. Non-skull base location was an independent factor for complete resection. The recurrence rate was 13.3% (21/158) and the 5-, 10-, and 15-year recurrence rates were 8.2%, 12.0%, and 13.3%, respectively. Benign pathology, postoperative KPS over than 90, low peritumoral edema, and complete resection were significantly associated with longer recurrence-free survival rate. The 5-, 10-, and 15-year survival rates were 96.2%, 94.9%, and 94.9%, respectively. Benign pathology, postoperative KPS over than 90 and complete resection were significantly associated with a longer survival rate. The permanent complication rate was 13% (21/158). Skull base location and postoperative KPS less than 90 were independent factors for the occurrence of permanent complication.Conclusion
Our experience shows that infratentorial meningiomas represent a continuing challenge for contemporary neurosurgeons. Various factors are related with resection degree, complications, recurrence and survival. 相似文献19.
