Abstract:
Objective To investigate clinical application of lateral supraorbital approach in microsurgery for tuberculum sellae meningioma.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed of the 46 patients with tuberculum sellae meningioma who had received microsurgery at Department of Neurosurgery,The First Affiliated Hospital to Soochow University from January 2010 to September 2017.Of the 46 patients,the lateral supraorbital approach was applied in 18 and the pterional approach in 28.The excision of tumor,operation time,hospital stay and visual improvement were compared between the 2 operative approaches.Results There was no significant difference in tumor excision rate between the patients using the lateral supraorbital approach and those using the pterional approach (P＞0.05).The operation time and hospital stay for the patients using the lateral supraorbital approach were significantly less than for those using the pterional approach (P＜0.05).Of the 12 cases with preoperative visual deterioration in the former patients,5 obtained no obvious visual change but 7 visual improvement;of the 23 cases with preoperative visual deterioration in the latter patients,9 obtained no obvious change,12 visual improvement and 2 further visual deterioration.Conclusion Neuro-microsurgery via the lateral supraorbital approach is a safe and mini-invasive treatment for tuberculum sellae meningioma.
