Petroclival meningiomas remain one of the most challenging intracranial tumors to treat
surgically. This is attributable to their location deep within the skull base and their …

OBJECTIVE: To study the use and advantages of combining the posterior petrosal approach
with the anterior petrosal approach to petroclival meningiomas. METHODS: Seven cases of …

BACKGROUND Petroclival meningiomas represent a difficult surgical challenge. The
introduction of modern techniques of skull base surgery has stimulated the interest of the …

Object Petroclival meningiomas remain a formidable challenge for neurosurgeons because
of their location deep within the skull base and proximity to eloquent neurovascular …

OBJECTIVE: We examined the surgical approaches used at a single institution to treat
petroclival meningioma and evaluated changes in method utilization over time. METHODS …

Background An anterior transpetrosal approach (ATPA) is suitable for treating upper
petroclival lesions. However, the limit of the ATPA is reached when the tumor extends …

Petroclival meningiomas are technically challenging lesions. The authors retrospectively
analyzed their experience between 2000 and 2010 in 82 patients with petroclival …

Object Petroclival meningiomas are notoriously difficult lesions to manage surgically, given
the critical neurovascular structures that are intimately associated with the tumors. In this …

OBJECT Petroclival meningiomas are among the most challenging intracranial tumors to
treat surgically. Many skull base approaches have been described to improve resection and …

OBJECTIVE: To determine parameters that influence the selection of the proper petrosal
approach or combined approaches for the excision of petroclival meningiomas. METHODS …
