OBJECTIVE The superior eyelid endoscopic transorbital approach (SETOA) provides a direct and short minimally invasive route to the anterior middle skull base. Nevertheless, it uses narrow corridor that limits its angles of attack. aim this study was evaluate feasibility potential benefits an "extended" conservative variant "standard" approach—termed "open-door"—to enhance exposure lesions affecting paramedian aspect cranial fossae. METHODS First, authors described technical nuances open-door...
Meningiomas show variable tendency to recur. While risk factors of recurrence have been largely investigated in literature, paucity data are available on the time recurrence. To identify main affecting assist preoperative treatment decision-making strategy and define a tailored clinical neuroradiological follow-up. Data 35 patients with intracranial meningioma recurrences retrospectively reviewed. Demographic (patient age at initial diagnosis sex), radiological (meningioma location, pattern...
Abstract Purpose To identify the risk factors and management of multiple recurrences reoperations for intracranial meningiomas. Methods Data a neurosurgical series 35 patients reoperated on recurrent meningiomas were reviewed. Analyzed include patient age sex, tumor location, extent resection, WHO grade, Ki67-MIB1 PR expression at initial diagnosis, time to recurrence; pattern regrowth, grade first recurrence also analyzed. All these stratified into two groups based single (Group A) B)....
Abstract Purpose Pituitary macroadenoma consistency can influence the ease of lesion removal during surgery, especially when using a transsphenoidal approach. Unfortunately, it is not assessable on standard qualitative MRI. Radiomic texture analysis could help in extracting mineable quantitative tissue characteristics. We aimed to assess accuracy combined with machine learning preoperative evaluation pituitary patients undergoing endoscopic endonasal surgery. Methods Data 89 (68 soft and 21...
Neurosurgical indications for the superior eyelid transorbital endoscopic approach (SETOA) are rapidly expanding over last years. Nevertheless, as any new technique, a detailed knowledge of anatomy surgical target area, operative corridor, and specific landmark from this different perspective is required safest successful surgery. Therefore, aim study to provide, through anatomical dissections, investigation revealed by SETOA via anterolateral triangle middle cranial fossa. We also sought...
Surgery stands as the primary treatment for spheno-orbital meningiomas, following a symptoms-oriented approach. We discussed decision-making process behind surgical strategies through review of medical records from 80 patients who underwent resection at University Naples Federico II. Different approaches were employed based on tumor’s location relative to optic nerve’s long axis, categorized into lateral (type I), medial II), and diffuse III). examined clinical, neuroradiological, surgical,...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: McCarty keyhole (MCK) is the most important entry point during orbitocranial and cranio-orbital approaches; nevertheless, its anatomic coordinates have never been detailedly described from transorbital perspective. To provide spatial for intraorbital projection of “mirror” MCK by using well-established main anatomic-surgical bony landmarks met along corridor. METHODS: was identified in 15 adult dry skulls (30 sides) on exocranial surface pterional region based...
Retrospective, observational study.
Background: The cavernous sinus (CS) is a highly vulnerable anatomical space, mainly due to the neurovascular structures that it contains; therefore, detailed knowledge of its anatomy mandatory for surgical unlocking. In this study, we compared region from different endoscopic and microsurgical operative corridors, further focusing on corresponding anatomic landmarks encountered along these routes. Furthermore, tried define safe entry zones venous space three provide indications regarding...
Virtual reality-based learning of neuroanatomy is a new feasible method to explore, visualize, and dissect interactively complex anatomic regions. We provide interactive photorealistic three-dimensional (3D) model sellar region microsurgical anatomy that allows side-by-side views exocranial endocranial surfaces be explored, with the aim assisting young neurosurgery residents in this region.
During the last few years, superior eyelid endoscopic transorbital approach has been proposed as a new minimally invasive pathway to access skull base lesions, mostly in ophthalmologic, otolaryngologic, and maxillofacial surgeries. However, most neurosurgeons performing neurosurgery do not usually employ orbit surgical corridor. The authors undertook this technical anatomical study contribute neurosurgical perspective, exploring different possibilities of novel route. Ten dissections were...
To scrutinize and compare the accuracy of measurements obtained from photogrammetric models against direct taken on dry skulls, with aim to verify feasibility photogrammetry for quantitative analysis in microsurgical neuroanatomy.
Abstract Background Micro-arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are a subgroup of AVMs with nidus smaller than 1- cm. As such, intraoperative localization micro-AVMs can be challenging. Once identified intraoperatively, however, treatment the micro-AVM is often straightforward. Method We discuss and illustrate fundamental imaging steps to localize aid an illustrative clinical case. Conclusion Micro-AVMs challenging intraoperatively. With anatomical, clinical, findings, small draining vein...
Abstract Background Inferior Fronto-Occipital Fascicle (IFOF) is a multitasking connection bundle essential for communication and high level mentalization. The aim of the present study was to quantitatively assess its radiological-anatomical-morphometric modifications according different brain tumor histotype. Methods A retrospective multicentric Italian conducted. IFOF reconstructions were calculated both hemispheres each patient diagnosed with Glioblastoma (GBM), Low Grade Glioma (LGG),...
