Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess risk factors for neurological deficits after surgery for petroclival meningioma (PCM), focusing on standard craniotomy techniques.
- A total of 158 patients were evaluated, revealing new cranial nerve deficits in 27.3% post-surgery, with a 59.4% rate of gross total resection (GTR) and a 2.3% mortality rate.
- The findings suggest that outcomes significantly improve for patients with softer, smoother tumors located unilaterally, emphasizing the importance of tumor characteristics in determining surgical success and minimizing neurological risks.
Objective: To retrospectively evaluate influence of intraoperative positioning (semisitting vs. lateral decubitus) and surgeon's learning curve with regard to functional outcome of patients with vestibular schwannoma.
Methods: This study included 544 patients (median age 57 years) and spanned 3 decades: 1991-1999 (n = 103), 2000-2009 (n = 210), and 2010-2019 (n = 231).
Objective: Peripheral nerve field stimulation (PNFS) is a promising modality for treatment of intractable facial pain. However, evidence is sparse. We are therefore presenting our experience with this technique in a small patient cohort.
