The direct microsurgical approach to intracavernous tumors

  • Chapter
Book cover The Cavernous Sinus

Abstract

Strictly intracavernous tumors remain rare and their management is still a subject of controversy. The authors expose the direct surgical approach to these lesions. They consider this to be necessary in order to determine the exact nature of the intracavernous process. The subsequent treatment, in particular radiotherapy, will depend to it.
