Abstract: Objective The aim of this paper is to describe our surgical strategy and technique and to identify the best management for posterior fossa dermoid and epidermoid tumors (PFDETs). Methods We retrospectively identified 21 consecutive patients (11 males and 10 females), with a mean age of 33.2 years, a mean follow-up of 6.1 years, and pathologically confirmed PFDETs. Total 17 patients were submitted to the extended retrosigmoid approach. This approach incorporates transverse sigmoid sinus exposure and a generous … Show more

“…Careful attention is paid to identify and respect the arachnoid plane at the tumorbrainstem interface, which facilitates complete tumor resection and minimizes small vessel and brainstem injury, as previously published . 14,15 Dissecting the tumor: The surgery proceeds within the space provided by the tumor growth. The meningioma is then dissected away from the LCNs and from the blood vessels by gentle meticulous microsurgical techniques, with microscissors and dissectors and multiple microscope angulations.…”
