Surgical treatment of pontine cavernous malformations via subtemporal transtentorial and intradural anterior transpetrosal approaches

Surgical treatment of pontine cavernous malformations via subtemporal transtentorial and intradural anterior transpetrosal approaches

Neurosurgical Review (2020) 43:1179–1189

The aim of this study was to report our surgical experience on resection of the pontine cavernous malformations (CMs) via subtemporal transtentorial approach (STTA) and intradural anterior transpetrosal approach (ATPA).

Clinical data were retrospectively reviewed in 61 patients with pontine CMs that were surgically treated by the STTA and the intradural…

Utility of a Quantitative Approach Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging for Prognostication Regarding Motor and Functional Outcomes in PatientsWith Surgically Resected Deep Intracranial Cavernous Malformations

Utility of a Quantitative Approach Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging for Prognostication Regarding Motor and Functional Outcomes in PatientsWith Surgically Resected Deep Intracranial Cavernous Malformations

Neurosurgery 86:665–675, 2020

Resection of deep intracranial cavernous malformations (CMs) is associated with a higher risk of neurological deterioration and uncertainty regarding clinical outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: To examine diffusion tractography imaging (DTI) data evaluating the corticospinal tract (CST) in relation to motor and functional outcomes in patients with surgically resected deep CMs.

Comparison of Outcome Between Surgical and Conservative Management of Symptomatic Spinal Cord Cavernous Malformations Neurosurgery 78:552–561, 2016 Intramedullary cavernous malformations (CMs) are rare lesions with unclear natural history. OBJECTIVE: To compare the functional outcomes of spinal CMs managed surgically and conservatively.

Sign and Symptoms of Cavernous Malformations

Cavernous Malformation Definition

Cavernous malformations are abnormally formed blood vessels that have the appearance of a small mulberry in the brain or spinal cord. These malformations may be hereditary or they may occur on their own.

These malformations may leak blood, leading to bleeding in the brain (hemorrhage). This can cause neurological symptoms, depending on the location of your…
