Abstract:
Objective:To explore the microsurgery technique and outcome in parasellar meningiomas.Methods:The clinical data of 29 cases of parasellar meningiomas were analyzed retrospectively. The main points of microsurgical treatments of parasellar meningiomas.Results:All of 29 cases were taken under microsurgical techniques. 21 cases were total removed and 5 cases were subtotally removed ,3 cases were partially removed. The microsurgery outcomes were satisfactory in all patients and no patients died.Conclusion:The microsurgery via the pterional approach and enlarged pterional approach to parasellar meningiomas can greatly heighten total resection rate of the tumors . Palliative operations combined with postoperative radiotherapy should be carried out for tumors that can only be subtotally and partially removed.
