Abstract:Background: We aimed to evaluate the resected area of endonasal endoscopic approach (EEA) and transcranial approach (TCA) for skull base meningiomas (SBMs) using voxel-based-lesion mapping and visualized the appropriate tumor location in each approach. Methods: We retrospectively examined 182 patients with SBMs who underwent tumor resection in our hospital between 2014 and 2019. Pre- and post-operative SBMs were manually delineated on MRI to create the voxels-of-interest (VOIpre and VOIpost) and were registere… Show more
“…The border closely matched a circle connecting the neural foramens (optic canal, foramen rotundum, foramen ovale, internal auditory canal, jugular foramen and hypoglossal canal). Their results might be helpful for surgeons when selecting better surgical approaches [18].…”
