Craniospinal Meningioma of Ventrolateral Location: Case Report and Literature Review
Abstract
In this clinical case of surgical treatment of craniovertebral junction meningioma (CVJ-area) of ventrolateral location. Meningiomas of CVJ-region are relatively rare compared with intracranial meningiomas at other location. About 90% meningiomas of CVJ-region has ventral and ventrolateral location. Surgical treatment of tumors of this area is associated with a high risk of neurological complications. At the same time, surgical outcomes and postoperative projections depend on the degree of removal of these radical benign tumors. For the best exposure of the tumor and control of vital structures (major vessels, cranial and spinal nerves, the brain stem) requires the use of appropriate approaches to the pathological process. In this case, an example of the total removal of the ventrolateral craniospinal meningioma of the extreme lateral (far-lateral) access to almost complete regression of neurological symptoms in the postoperative period.
