Removal of a tumor involving both the intracranial space and the skull presents technical challenges. This is especially so if there is a potential for significant hemorrhage due to a hemangioma or a significant attachment to the brain as with a meningioma.
We describe a technique where the tumor attached to the skull is left undisturbed and a second wider concentric craniotomy exposes normal dura. The entire tumor, both intracranial and that involving the skull and dura, can then be removed as one specimen.
The technique we describe, a concentric craniotomy, transforms a difficult operation with the potential for significant hemorrhage into a more standard removal of a convexity tumor.
切除同时涉及颅内空间和颅骨的肿瘤存在技术挑战。如果由于血管瘤存在大量出血的风险,或者与脑膜瘤一样与大脑有明显的附着,情况更是如此。
我们描述了一种技术,其中颅骨上附着的肿瘤不被干扰,进行第二次更宽的同心开颅术以暴露正常硬脑膜。然后可以将整个肿瘤,包括颅内和颅骨及硬脑膜的肿瘤,作为一个标本一起切除。
我们描述的技术,即同心开颅术,将具有大量出血风险的困难手术转化为更标准的凸面肿瘤切除术。
