Ⅰ.はじめに
頭蓋頚椎移行部(craniovertebral junction:CVJ)の腫瘍は,脳神経や延髄,椎骨動脈(vertebral artery:VA)など周囲に重要な構造物が多く,一般的に摘出は困難である.また,VA浸潤を伴った場合,摘出時のVA損傷リスクが高く,安全を期して部分摘出にとどめる例や,長時間に及ぶ手術となることもある.今回,VA浸潤を伴うCVJの硬膜内髄外腫瘍の症例に対し,血管内治療でVA塞栓を先行した上で摘出術を行い,安全に腫瘍の全摘出をし得た症例を経験したため報告する.
OBJECTIVE:The surgical resection of craniovertebral junction(CVJ)meningioma is challenging because of the neighboring brainstem, lower cranial nerves, and vertebral artery(VA). Moreover, encasement of the VA by the tumor can raise the risk of complications and require cautious manipulation during surgery.
CASE:A 46-year-old woman presented with a one-year history of neck pain. She had temporal hemiplegia and numbness on her left side. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)showed a CVJ meningioma pushing the brainstem from the right vertebral side and encasing the right VA. Digital subtraction angiography(DSA)showed two feeding arteries arising from the right VA and a sunburst sign. The right VA was the dominant side but did not have the right posterior inferior cerebellar artery(PICA). The anterior spinal artery(ASA)was dominant in the left VA. We performed a balloon test occlusion(BTO)for 20 min and it did not cause any complications;therefore, we occluded the VA using endovascular coils. After 4 days, we removed the meningioma in the prone position, using a far-lateral approach and C1-laminectomy. The laterally located meningioma pushed the brainstem. After detaching the tumor from the dura, we cut the encased VA and the tumor was resected safely(Simpson grade Ⅱ). Postoperatively, she developed temporal thermal hypoalgesia on the left side of her body. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a microinfarction in the medulla.
CONCLUSION:If the VA test occlusion provides a clear result, pre-operative endovascular sacrifice of the VA encased by CVJ meningioma is a feasible treatment strategy.
