Proud of you @NimerAdeeb !!!
Skull base surgery demands a deep understanding of lateral skull base anatomy.
In this case, a large tentorial meningioma was approached via a retrolabyrinthine approach, with meticulous temporal bone drilling personally performed to access both the infra- and supratentorial compartments.
This approach provides safe exposure, facilitates tentorial division, and enables complete tumor resection while preserving hearing. This is one of the many skills I owe to Dr. @jacquesmorcosmd!
The patient initially presented with seizures and remained neurologically intact and seizure-free following surgery.
