Individualized Cerebral Artery Protection Strategies for the Surgical Treatment of Parasellar Meningiomas on the Basis of Preoperative Imaging
ObjectiveParasellar meningiomas (PMs) represent a cohort of skull base tumors that are localized in the parasellar region. PMs tend to compress, encase, or even invade the cerebral arteries and their perforating branches. The surgical resection of PMs without damaging neurovascular structures is cha...
