    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Asterion meningiomas, tumors at the sinodural angle, can be safely resected. Complete tumor removal is achievable with low morbidity, even with sinus involvement.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Oncology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Asterion meningiomas originate at the sinodural angle, near the transverse and sigmoid sinuses.
    • These tumors can cause symptoms like headaches, dizziness, ataxia, and seizures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Simpson I resection for asterion meningiomas.
    • To assess the impact of transverse/sigmoid sinus involvement on surgical outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of seven patients with asterion meningiomas.
    • Surgical resection via petrosal or suboccipital approaches.
    • Analysis of preoperative angiograms and intraoperative findings regarding sinus involvement.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Complete Simpson I resection was achieved in all patients.
    • Tumor infiltration and occlusion of transverse/sigmoid sinuses were observed in four patients, with successful sinus ligation.
    • One case of temporal bone invasion led to tumor recurrence.
    • Two transient cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks occurred postoperatively.

    Conclusions:

    • Asterion meningiomas can be completely resected with low morbidity.
    • Resection of involved sinuses, including ligation, can be performed safely.
    • Resection of a non-dominant patent transverse/sigmoid sinus is feasible when the torcula is patent, but further research is needed for dominant sinuses.
