  • Other points of interest include the ability to obtain intra-operative imaging prior to procedure completion, the potential for reduced radiation exposure, ease of use, and ease of access to imaging. (xorantech.com)
  • The awake craniotomy procedure is currently the key option for achieving optimum safe resection. (ejournals.ca)
  • Our procedure was done for tumors situated in the Broca area in 3 cases, motor gyrus in 7 cases and premotor gyrus in 3 cases. (ejournals.ca)
  • Radiation therapy is an outpatient procedure typically performed at least 2 weeks following operative intervention in order to allow adequate surgical incision healing. (medscape.com)
  • The bone flap was designed with the understanding that the tumor in the sphenoid wing region preoperatively was seen to erode through the bone with hyperostosis and direct bony invasion as there was evidence of tumor in contrast-enhanced regions inferior to the temporalis muscle on the outside of the bone. (welterhp.com)
  • It was also recognized that there was tumor that had transcended the bone of the lateral orbit and was impacting the lateral rectus muscle. (welterhp.com)
  • After the tumour has been removed, all bleeding is stopped, the dura is closed with sutures, the bone is replaced with 3 mini-plates and the scalp is closed. (braintumoursurgery.co.uk)
  • Hyperostotic bone on the craniotomy flap should be resected. (neurosurgicalatlas.com)
  • Intra-operative non-regional (adjacent or distant) EDH is an emergency and may cause abnormal performances like protrusion of the cortex through the bone flap or especially difficult coagulation, although the signs are not always revealing. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Once tumor resection was compete, the bone flap was replaced and fixed without any intracranial drainage. (biomedcentral.com)
  • CBTRUS statistical report: primary brain and other central nervous system tumors diagnosed in the United States in 2014-2018. (thieme-connect.de)
  • Cranial perforators are used in various surgical procedures, including burr hole surgeries, craniotomies, and other cranial interventions. (grandviewresearch.com)
  • This tumor accounts for approximately 7-8% of all intracranial tumors and 30% of pediatric brain tumors. (medscape.com)
  • Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant pediatric tumor in the central nervous system (CNS), accounting for nearly 20% of all childhood brain cancers and ~40% of all childhood tumors in the posterior fossa. (medscape.com)
  • This set of tumors is considered the most common brain malignancy among pediatric population. (medscape.com)
  • Less frequently, the problem is a cerebral or spinal tumour. (ispub.com)
  • Several investigators advocate proton beam radiation because its sharp dosimetry decline at the tumour edge minimises the radiation dose to which the surrounding normal structures are subjected. (entandaudiologynews.com)
