P155: SKULL BASE PETROCLIVAL MENINGIOMA: CASE MANAGEMENT AND STRATEGY
Agung Budi Sutiono, MD, PhD; Department of Neurosurgery Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung Indonesia Padjadjaran University
Skull base petroclival meningiomas are the most challenging meningiomas to treat clinically due to their deep location, involvement or encasement of adjacent essential neurovascular structures in middle and posterior fossa, and their often-large size prior to diagnosis. Resection of these tumors however is challenging from a technical standpoint, and requires expertise in several skull-base transpetrosal (Kawase) approaches that rely on adequate petrous apex removal, minimization of brain retraction, and respect neurovascular structures.
