Abstract:
To sum up the experience of microneurosurgical treatment of cavernous sinus tumor, an retrospective analysis was made for 26 cases of cavernous sinus tumor admitted to our hospital from January, 1990 to June, 2001. All the patients received the modified microneurosurgical operation, and the operation was performed in 6 of them by the help of nerve guidance.The tumors were totally removed in 19 patients, and partially removed in the other 7 patients. No patient died, and cranial nerve injury was ameliorated in 14 cases, and some new cranial nerve injuries were found in 6 patients after operation. No recurrence or regrowth of tumor was found during the following up from 8 months to 12 years. It is crucial to master the microneurosurgical techniques for the reduction of operative complications.
