"Baylor Scott & White Health's Transpetrosal Approach for Tumor Removal Surgery" - A demonstration of the surgical technique for removing Petroclival Meningioma

This image showcases the Transpetrosal Approach surgical technique developed by Baylor Scott & White Health for the removal of Petroclival Meningioma, a slow-growing noncancerous tumor located at the center of the skull base. The procedure is challenging due to the tumor’s location, and patients may experience symptoms such as headaches, hearing loss, double vision, facial pain or numbness, dizziness, facial weakness, and coordination loss. Surgery is recommended for patients with neurological impairments or tumor growth. This image provides a visual demonstration of the surgical technique used to remove the tumor, highlighting the expertise and innovation of Baylor Scott & White Health in the field of neurosurgery.
