To study the clinical features and treatments of jugular foramen neurinomas. The approximate approach and proper exposure regions of jugular foramen tumour were discussed in this paper.
Fourteen cases of jugular foramen neurinomas were diagnosed by CT, MRI, DSA and 3D-CT reconstruction preoperatively. The tumours were resected by far lateral infra-temporal approach. The classification and relative operative approaches were discussed.
Among 14 patients, total removal were achieved in 8 cases, subtotal removal in 4 cases and partial removal in the other 2 cases. All patients got good recovering. No serious complications correlating the approaches occurred except one case of facial paralysis.
The far later infratentorial approach was suggested to be more suitable for surgery upon neurinomas of jugular foramen.
