Translaminar approach for surgical treatment of III ventricle floor craniopharyngiomas at adults
Abstract
Objective: to estimate the effectiveness of translaminar approach for surgical treatment of III ventricle floor craniopharyngiomas at adults. Methods: We presented the treatment outcomes at 13 patients with III ventricle floor craniopharyngiomas who underwent surgical treatment with the usage of subfrontal-translaminar approach. Results: The subtotal removal of the tumor was performed at 7 (54%) patients whilst total tumor resection was done at 6 (46%) patients. All patients had diabetes insipidus in postoperative period. The functional state of patients at discharge estimated as 83 scores at average by Karnovsky scale (at admission - 74 scores). This increase was connected with improvement of vision and regress of hypertensive syndrome. Conclusion: the usage of subfrontal-translaminar approach allowed achieving good functional outcomes and high resection radicality of III ventricle floor craniopharyngiomas.
