Determinants of quality of life following resection of skull base tumors: a systematic review.
Front Oncol
December 2024
Department of Neurosurgery and Neurorestoration, Klinikum Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, Klagenfurt, Austria.
Background: Skull base tumors represent a small subset of intracranial neoplasm. Due to their proximity to critical neurovascular structures, their resection often leads to morbidity. As a result, surgical interventions can exacerbate symptoms or cause new deficits, thereby impacting the patients' perceived quality of life (QoL).

Proper skull base repair is essential in preventing postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak following endonasal endoscopic skull base surgery. Direct suturing of the skull base dura is desirable but difficult. Here, we discuss the effectiveness of endoscopic suturing of skull base dura in cases of skull base lesions with intraoperative CSF leak.

Department of Neurosurgery, Federal University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of hemilaminectomy as an approach to intradural tumors and to assess the risk of postoperative spinal instability.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of 38 patients who underwent surgical resection of intradural tumors between November 2014 and March 2019. Clinical and radiologic data were documented in medical records, from which we obtained clinical data including age, gender, tumor etiology, lesion level, type of resection, and postoperative instability during follow-up.
Giant Meningioma Diagnosis and Clinical Treatment: A Case Report.

This case report shows the importance of semiology during a clinical examination not only to diagnose spine clinical symptoms but also to review the central nervous system tumor as a foot drop cause. We report a unique case of a patient who consulted for constant progressive numbness and motor symptoms in the right lower extremity. Lumbar CT and MRI were negative for acute or chronic lumbar pathology.

Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses a rare case of a 58-year-old male with both a symptomatic tuberculum sellae meningioma (TSM) and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), detailing the challenges of treating concurrent brain conditions.
- - The patient experienced vision loss and headaches, and imaging revealed both the brain tumor and stenosis in the transverse sinuses, indicating increased intracranial pressure.
- - A surgical approach involving tumor resection and subsequent stenting for IIH was performed, aiming to address both health issues in a way that optimized patient outcomes while reducing risks.
