Removal of a mass on the left side of the base of the skull

The patient was 71 years old and had an enlarging mass on the left side of the base of the skull. The doctor slowly opens around the optic nerve and then opens the tentorium. The tumor is located under the tentorium and is attached to the trigeminal nerve. The subtemporal approach method is used to remove this tumor.

Since the tumor is located under the bone, the doctor gently and reassuringly separates the tumor from the bone and uses methods to prevent the brain fluid from leaking out. The doctor carefully and delicately removes the tumor from the fifth nerve. Finally, he checks that the nerves are healthy.
