Abstract
Purpose

The most used neurosurgical approach to reach cerebellar-pontine angle is the retrosigmoid route. This article describes the presigmoid approach which requires excellent knowledge of the labyrinthine block together with quantitative analysis of temporal bone CT.

Methods

CT-based quantitative measurements were obtained in patients undergoing vestibular neurectomy with a presigmoid approach. Eighteen patients were enrolled, and five measures were taken: Trautmann’s area, the petro-clival angle, presigmoid dura length and its angle. The relationship between these measurements and hospitalization days, operating times, and complications was explored.

Results

The posterior semicircilar canal (PSC)-sigmoid sinus (SS) distance, presigmoid dura- internal auditory canal (IAC)-PSC angle, and duration of surgery are predictors of complications. Specifically, a PSC-sigmoid sinus distance <11 mm, a dura presig-IAC-PSC angle <14 are associated with the highest risk of complications.

Conclusion

Preoperative temporal bone CT scan can guide the surgeon through the narrowest areas of the surgical approach. Trautmann’s triangle area and petro-clival angle reduction are challenging and can be faced with combined microscopic-endoscopic technique, and with optics angulation-rotation. The retrolabyrinthine approach can enable hearing preservation and minimal cerebellar retraction.

Resumen
Propósito

El abordaje neuroquirúrgico más utilizado para llegar al ángulo cerebelopontino es la vía retrosigmoidea. Este artículo describe el abordaje presigmoideo, que requiere un excelente conocimiento del bloque laberíntico junto con un análisis cuantitativo de la TC del hueso temporal.

Métodos

Se realizaron mediciones cuantitativas basadas en TC en pacientes sometidos a neurectomía vestibular con un enfoque presigmoideo. Se inscribieron dieciocho pacientes y se tomaron cinco medidas: el área de Trautmann, el ángulo petro-clival, la longitud de la duramadre presigmoidea y su ángulo. Se exploró la relación entre estas mediciones y los días de hospitalización, los tiempos de operación y las complicaciones.

Resultados

La distancia entre el canal semicircular posterior (CSP) y el seno sigmoides (SS), el ángulo entre la duramadre presigmoidea, el canal auditivo interno (CAI) y el CSP, y la duración de la cirugía son predictores de complicaciones. Específicamente, una distancia CSP-seno sigmoides <11 mm, un ángulo duramadre presig-CAI-CSP <14 están asociados con el mayor riesgo de complicaciones.

Conclusión

La tomografía computarizada preoperatoria del hueso temporal puede guiar al cirujano a través de las áreas más estrechas del abordaje quirúrgico. El área del triángulo de Trautmann y la reducción del ángulo petro-clival son desafiantes y pueden abordarse con una técnica combinada microscópica-endoscópica y con angulación-rotación óptica. El abordaje retrolaberíntico puede permitir la preservación de la audición y una retracción mínima del cerebelo.
