Day-to-Day Neurosurgery Meningiomas Part 1
•
26m
Foramen Magnum meningiomas account for less than 5% of all meningiomas. With such meningiomas being so close to the medulla oblongata, vertebral artery and lower cranial nerves, astute knowledge of neuroanatomy is integral for successful surgery. This extended cut module covers the dissection in greater detail, highlighting anatomical landmarks and the surgical strategy centered around them

Tuberculum Meningioma Microsurgery
Tuberculum meningioma surgery often involves areas that are close to the optic nerve, especially for nerve blood supply. This module covers safe techniques for nerve manipulation during the tumour dissection. Also covered are techniques to manage fibrotic arachnoid layers due to the patient's age...
