Microsurgical resection of intracranial cavernous hemangioma with the guide of electromagnetic navigation / 中华显微外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the value of electromagnetic navigation in microsurgical resection of intracranial cavernous hemangioma of different locations.Methods The microsurgical resection of intracranial cavernous hemangioma of different locations with the guide of electromagnetic navigation of COMPASS Cygnus system,There were 47 cavernous hemangioma of 43 patients,including of multiple cavernous hemangioma of 3 cases,one case had 3,the other 2 cases had 2 ; Including 25 deep in the cerebral cortex(including of 4 deep in the cerebellar cortex),twenty shallow in the cerebral cortex,two were in the orbital apex,including of 4 deep in the sensorimotor cortex,four deep in the language center,and 2 deep in the visual center.Results All 47 cavernous hemangioma of 43 patients,the accuracy was 100％.The resection rate was 100％,including of 16 patients were removed with a straight incision.There was no one with the neurological dysfunction worse postoperative,with no deaths,with 1 case of normal perfusion pressure breakthrough and was cured by conservative treatment.Thirty cases were discharged within 1 week.The blood loss of 30 cases was less than 50 ml.The average registration error of navigation was 1.6 ± 0.4 mm.Conclusion The surgical incision and surgical approach can been designed with the help of electromagnetic navigation system before operation,and can accurately resect the lesions simultaneously avoid brain function area,protect the normal brain tissue,reduce postoperative complications,with the help of the electromagnetic navigation system intraoperative in real time.It is suitable for minimally invasive surgery for intracranial cavernous hemangioma.
