A therapeutic experience of diffuse cerebellopontine angle meningioma through combined translabyrinthine, infratemporal fossa, and suboccipital craniotomy approach

Meningioma is a slow growing tumor that mainly originates from the intracranial region, but rarely occurs at extracranial region. Once the extracranial meningioma shows diffuse and extensive involvement along the cranial nerves, surgical extirpation of the tumor becomes extremely difficult, and surgical morbidity often follows. We present a single case of en plaque meningioma extended to temporal area and parapharyngeal space, and reviewed the surgical technique for manipulation of facial nerve and postoperative cranial nerve palsy.
