Temporal Craniotomy and Trans-Tentorial Approach for Resection of Large Supra and Infra-Tentorial who Grade 3 Solitary Fibrous Tumor
Abstract
Here we present a trans-tentorial approach for resection of supra and infra-tentorial WHO Grade 3 solitary fibrous tumor, via temporal craniotomy. The trans-tentorial approach was selected for access to the supra-tentorial and infra-tentorial components of the tumor, as well as allowing for skeletonization of the transverse sinus. With microsurgical technique and intra-tumoral debulking, we were able to resect the tumor in its entirety with preservation of the dominant draining veins.
