MENINGIOMAS SURGERY

Objective:
Petrousmeningioma are benign lesions their total surgical excision
is the only method for Complete Cure. However, their excisions are confronted
by deep location and critical anatomical relation and exact site of origin from
the Petrous bone. This study was conducted to plan a surgical strategy based
on the site of attachment of the lesion in the Petrous bone.
Methods:
25 were studied pre-operatively by neuro- imaging especially
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To classify the types of petrous
meningioma, all cases were studied operatively for the extent of the tumor
removal while clinical status and the follow up and histopathological
verification were evaluated.
Results:
Radical surgical removal was achieved in 18 patients (72%), subtotal
removal in four cases (16%) and incomplete removal in another three cases
(12%).
Conclusion:
Complete surgical excision of the petrous meningioma can be
planned pre-operatively depending on the exact site of the attachment to the
petrous bone. There were four different zones on the surface of petrous bone
on which different type of surgical approach can be used to achieve a better
result about the safety of the patient and the extend of the excision of the
petrous meningioma’s.
