Craniotomy
to remove tubercle sella meningioma along with extradural anterior
clinoidectomy and intradural optic nerve decompression
Surgery
was performed on the brain of a 51-year-old patient who came with headache and
blindness in the left eye. The MRI test shows the presence of a tumor in the
tubercle of the sella at the base of the skull, which is most likely a
meningioma tumor. First, the skull is removed as a layer on the brain to allow
access to the brain. In the next step, the eye nerve should be moved so that it
does not notice the pressure when the tumor is removed. After preparing the
conditions for removing the tumor, first stop the bleeding and then the tumor
is slowly drained from the side of the eye nerve. The patient regained his
vision after the surgery.
