Extradural Approach for Cavernous Hemangioma of the Cavernous Sinus: Experience With 13 Cases.

Abstract: The clinical, radiological, and surgical issues concerning cavernous hemangiomas located within the dural confines of the cavernous sinus were analyzed on the basis of experience with 13 cases. The feasibility of radical resection by an entirely extradural approach using a basal temporal surgical route to this relatively rare and formidable surgical problem was investigated. Thirteen patients, four males and nine females, with cavernous hemangioma involving the cavernous sinus were treated from 1992 to 2001. T… Show more

“…Similarly, an extradural frontotemporal approach to the cavernous sinus was promulgated by Dolenc in 1994, 10 and has since been described and modified as the preferred surgical approach to such lesions. 5,7,12,14,15,19,20,22,28 The value of extradural approaches in the treatment of aneurysms of the basilar apex and upper basilar trunk has been demonstrated as well. 6,7,17,21 In the present study, we reviewed the indications for surgery and our operative experience in a series of 66 patients who underwent surgery for various lesions via an extradural temporopolar approach.…”

“…Además, el riesgo de un sangrado intraoperatorio severo es elevado debido a la gran vascularización del hemangioma, lo que dificulta aún más el tratamiento quirúrgico de este tumor. En algunas series, la morbi-mortalidad asociada a la cirugía se sitúa alrededor de un 36% 1,6 . Los hemangiomas hallados incidentalmente, de pequeño tamaño, sin una afectación importante de estructuras vásculonerviosas, no requieren tratamiento y pueden ser objeto de seguimiento clínico y radiológico.…”

“…Sin embargo, aquéllos que se hacen sintomáticos deben ser tratados 22 . Los abordajes extradurales, pterional y órbitozigoma-tico, son habitualmente empleados para acceder al seno cavernoso; algunos autores describen otros abordajes más novedosos (endoscópico transnasal-transesfenoidal) o menos utilizados (subfrontal, temporal) 6,20 . Mediante los abordajes extradurales al seno cavernoso se reduce la manipulación del lóbulo temporal y, por lo tanto, disminuye el riesgo de presentar crisis comiciales postoperatorias.…”
