I.はじめに
近年,頭蓋底外科の発展に伴い,充分な視野が確保されかつ脳の圧排を最小限におさえる手術法が工夫されている.
olfactory groove meningioma(以下OGM)は,全髄膜腫の約3.8%を占め5),嗅覚低下が唯一の症状であるため患者が異常に気づくのが遅れ,かなり大きくなってから発見されることが多く,前頭葉の部分切除が行われることもある4,10).今回われわれは,巨大なOGMに対し,Extensive transfrontal approachを行い良好な結果が得られたので,手術術式を中心に報告する.
A case with a huge olfactory groove meningioma was cured surgically by extensive transfrontal approach.
A 46-year-old female was admitted with complains of left visual disturbance. CT revealed a large high-density mass in the base of the frontal fossa which was en-hanced homogenously. Hyperostosis was seen in the planum sphenoidale. MRI showed a relatively low in-tensity with a peritumoral low-intensity rim on T1WI and high intensity on T2WI. The brain stem had shifted dorsally. Rich feeding to the lesion from the ethomoidal artery was seen on angiography. An operation was performed using an extensive transfrontal approach. After bifrontal craniotomy, orbi-tofrontal osteotomy was performed. This approach en-abled us to minimize frontal lobe retraction, to interrupt the blood supply to the tumor early, and to remove the tumor completely from the frontal base and to present invasion of the sinuses. The postoperative course was uneventful without cosmetic problems.
