Combined petrosal approach for petroclival meningioma

Abstract

The authors present the case of a 56-year-old patient who presented with a large petroclival meningioma and clinical symptoms of brainstem compression and hydrocephalus. The authors describe a two-stage combined petrosal approach for complete resection of the tumor. The nuances of the approach and microsurgical technique are discussed, as well as the radiographic and clinical outcomes.The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/T90vUIPKQsA.
