Background And Purpose: Efficacy of tumor embolization for posterior fossa meningioma is controversial due to the lack of adequate embolization for dangerous feeders. Of these, a meningohypophyseal trunk (MHT) has high therapeutic value despite the high risks associated with embolization.
Materials And Methods: To analyze the utility of preoperative MHT embolization for posterior fossa meningiomas using BCA with dual balloon protection, a single center retrospective record review was performed on eight consecutive patients who underwent preoperative tumor embolization via the MHT for posterior fossa meningiomas between 2020 and 2024.
