Abstract
Thirteen patients harboring large petroclival meningiomas are reported. The evolution of the petrosal approach is discussed, and modifications for improvement in surgical technique are described. There was no mortality in this series, and total removal was achieved in all but two patients. Morbidity included cranial nerve deficit, pulmonary embolism, and hemiparesis.Entities:
