Microsurgery for a medial left giant lesser sphenoid wing meningioma complicated by postoperative vasospasm of the ipsilateral supraclinoid carotid artery.
Abstract
Sphenoid wing meningiomas present close contact with intracranial arteries and have great potential for vascular complications. Here, we describe the case of a patient who presented a medial left giant lesser sphenoid wing meningioma involving the supraclinoid carotid artery. One week after surgery, she developed vasospasm whose treatment using milrinone achieved excellent results.
