Intracranial abnormalities include, tumors (benign or malignant), vascular malformations (AVMs, Aneurysms), hematomas, and infections. Management of intracranial abnormalities has progressed rapidly over the past decade. This progress has largely been focused on developing procedures that are less invasive. These procedures and modalities include
Gamma Knife Radiosurgery,
stereotactic image guided surgery, microscopic surgery, lasers, and endoscopic surgery. Recently, endoscopic techniques have allowed for the endoscopic removal of pituitary tumors through the nostril. The result has been better outcomes, less morbidity and mortality and higher patient satisfaction. Please click on the area that you are most interested in. |
