摘要:
OBJECTIVE:The BrainLab VectorVision neuronavigation system was used in 131 cases of different brain pathological conditions. The neuronavigation system was used without problems in 125 cases. These cases included 114 microsurgical operations, 4 endoscopic procedures, 4 frameless stereotactic biopsies, and 3 catheter placements.METHODS:The BrainLab VectorVision neuronavigation system is an intraoperative, image-guided, frameless, localization system. The system consists of a computer workstation for registration of images and physical spaces, an intraoperative localization device, and a computer image display. The system provides real-time responses regarding the locations of surgical instruments. VectorVision is based on passive reflections of infrared flashes. Universal adapters with reflective markers for surgical instruments, endoscopes, and the operating microscope are used.RESULTS:In six cases, the system could not be used because of system failure or mishandling. In 125 neurosurgical cases, the neuronavigation system was useful, with a target-localizing accuracy of 4 ± 1.4 mm (mean ± standard deviation). For small cerebral lesions, we never performed an exploration with negative results.CONCLUSION:The BrainLab neuronavigation system has been shown to be very helpful and user-friendly for routine neurosurgical interventions. Its advantage lies in its mobility, based on wireless reflective adapters for surgical instruments, endoscopes, and the operating microscope.

摘要:
OBJECTIVE:The supraorbital approach is well accepted for lesions in the anterior fossa, the sellar region, and the anterior circle of Willis. However, the usefulness of this approach has not yet been elucidated for lesions in the interpeduncular fossa. The technique of an endoscope-assisted, ipsi- and contralateral supraorbital approach to lesions within the interpeduncular fossa is described, and the initial results are reported.METHODS:A small supraorbital craniotomy, using an eyebrow incision, was performed in each of seven patients who were operated on for different types of lesions in the interpeduncular fossa, including a neuromuscular choristoma of the oculomotor nerve, a retrosellar epidermoid tumor, and five aneurysms (two of the basilar artery tip, two at the offspring of the superior cerebellar artery, and one fusiform arterial widening of the basilar artery apex). The surgical approach, its indications and limitations, and the additional value of an endoscope are outlined.RESULTS:All lesions could be easily reached and well visualized through this approach by using an endoscope as an adjunct to the operating microscope. The saccular aneurysms all could be clipped successfully, the fusiform widening was wrapped, the epidermoid tumor was removed completely, and the choristoma was removed only partially because of brain stem invasion. The patient with the neuromuscular choristoma had persistent diabetes insipidus postoperatively, most probably caused by stretching the pituitary stalk with the endoscope. The patient with the epidermoid tumor showed a postoperative transient partial oculomotor nerve paresis at the side of the approach. The cosmetic results of the eyebrow incisions for this approach were excellent in all patients.CONCLUSION:Lesions in the interpeduncular fossa can be effectively treated using a supraorbital approach, which can be ipsi- or contralateral to the side of the lesion, depending on the exact location of the lesion. The use of an endoscope is essential to visualize these lesions that lie in the shadow of the sellar and parasellar anatomic structures. The major advantage over other approaches are a nearly perpendicular surgical route (although the distance is longer, which is, on the other hand, not a disadvantage), a minimized amount of dissection and brain retraction by using an endoscope through anatomic gateways, and a small surgical incision with excellent cosmetic results.

摘要:
OBJECTIVE:Preservation of the olfactory tract during use of the bifrontal approach for the treatment of lesions located in the frontal cranial base and the supra- and parasellar regions has not been previously investigated.METHODS:In our study, 12 patients underwent surgery, via the basal subfrontal route, for treatment of various lesions. All patients were observed prospectively, and olfactometry was performed pre- and postoperatively by an independent otorhinolaryngologist.RESULTS:We obtained complete preservation of the olfactory tracts and normal postoperative olfaction in all 12 cases.CONCLUSION:The bifrontal approach yields a bilateral wide operative field with excellent orientation and views of important structures. The shortcomings of this method, i.e., damage to the olfactory tracts and postoperative anosmia, can be overcome.
