The trans-sylvian trans-petrosal "half & half" approach-a how I do it.
Acta Neurochirurgica 2024 April 2
BACKGROUND: Petroclival meningiomas are one of the most challenging tumors to be operated in the realm of neurosurgery. Many approaches have been developed over the years.
METHOD: The authors describe the Half & Half (H&H) approach whose main indication is petroclival meningiomas with suprasellar extension. The part of the tumor located above CN III and in the retrochiasmatic space is addressed through a trans-sylvian, while the petroclival portion is through an extradural anterior petrosectomy approach. The wide surgical corridor given by this approach allows extensive tumor resection while avoiding the risk associated with the manipulation of intracavernous neurovascular structures.
CONCLUSION: The H&H approach is an effective strategy to maximize the safe resection of petroclival meningiomas.
