Clinical Outcomes and Decision-making Choice of Skull Base Approaches for Petroclival Meningiomas: a Single Center Report of 179 Cases
In Brief
An observational study evaluating retrosigmoid approach (RSA), subtemporal transtentorial transpetrosal approach (STTA), and 4 other interventions for Skull Base Meningioma. Completed, enrolled 179 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Petroclival meningioma (PCM) is a technically challenging lesion. We aimed to analyze the role of various skull base approaches and evaluate the therapeutic outcomes guided by the modified classification. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics, surgical approaches, outcomes and follow-up data from 179 cases of PCM from January 2011 to December 2020. We modified the previous classification into updated five types with two subtypes: clivus type (CV), petroclival type (PC), petroclivosphenoidal type (PC-S), sphenopetroclival type (S-PC) with two subtypes of S-PC I and S-PC II and central skull base type (CSB). Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistical Package 21.0. The t-test was performed to clinical data comparisons between the two groups and the ANOVA test was used to compare the difference between multiple groups. P \< 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
