Abstract
Background
Tumours of the parasellar area may engulf the internal carotid artery(ICA) and its branches which may preclude complete resection and may be a risk factor for ischemic complications.
Methods
We present a surgical technique based on a stepwise identification of the arterial branches which may enable a complete resection in selected cases even when complete encasement of the ICA is present on preoperative images.
Conclusion
Resection of tumours encasing the major vascular structures should be systematically attempted while continuously weighing the delicate balance between the risk of vascular injury and the extent of resection.
期刊介绍:
The journal "Acta Neurochirurgica" publishes only original papers useful both to research and clinical work. Papers should deal with clinical neurosurgery - diagnosis and diagnostic techniques, operative surgery and results, postoperative treatment - or with research work in neuroscience if the underlying questions or the results are of neurosurgical interest. Reports on congresses are given in brief accounts. As official organ of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies the journal publishes all announcements of the E.A.N.S. and reports on the activities of its member societies. Only contributions written in English will be accepted.
