Abstract
|
|
|
Intracranial meningiomas are mainly benign lesions amenable for surgical resection. However, removal of an intracranial
meningioma carries a higher risk of postoperative hemorrhage compared to surgery for other intracranial neoplasms. The sphenoid ridge meningioma especially has difficult surgical problems because it can involve arteries of the anterior circulation, anterior visual pathways, and oculomotor nerve. The authors report a 50-year-old patient who had resection of sphenoid ridge meningioma and postoperative intracerebral hemorrhage occurred at postoperative 1 day. Despite of mergency hematoma removal, patient expired at postoperative 4 day. We review pertinent literatures, and discuss risk factors and prevention of postoperative hematoma.
