Combined treatment of brain tumors in a multidisciplinary hospital. Examples of clinical cases
Abstract
In a multidisciplinary hospital, the combined treatment of profusely vascularized tumors is a justified means of preventing intra and postoperative complications, in particular bleeding. Preoperative embolization of cerebral arteries plays an important role as the first stage of surgical treatment. This procedure made it possible to facilitate the resection of the tumor and reduce the risk of intraoperative bleeding.
THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: to evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative embolization in patients with profusely vascularized brain tumors in a multidisciplinary hospital.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: On the basis of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency medicine, 5 patients, taking into account the size of the meningioma, as well as its profusely vascularization according to cerebral angiography, underwent combined treatment in the form of microsurgical removal of a volume formation (meningioma) with preliminary endovascular shutdown of the branches of the external carotid artery feeding the tumor stroma.
RESULT: In 100 % of cases of combined treatment, there was minimal intraoperative bleeding. In the long-term period, an unfavorable outcome was not observed in these patients.
CONCLUSION: It is advisable to perform combined operations to remove profusely supplied, large and giant meningiomas in a multidisciplinary hospital, which has not only all modern neurosurgical equipment, but also an X-ray endovascular installation.
