Because of their anatomical situation, the olfactory nerves constitute a natural obstacle to
exploring the anterior cranial fossa, making them vulnerable to traumatic, tumor, or …

Most of tuberculum sellae meningiomas (TSM) show asymmetric growth. They are usually
resected through ipsilateral approaches. The access of the inferior-medial side of the …

METHODS Between September 1997 and June 2008, a total of 656 meningiomas were
operated on by the senior author (JH) at the Department of Neurosurgery, Helsinki …

Visualizing in 3D the histological microanatomy of the human olfactory projection from the
olfactory mucosa in the nasal cavity to the olfactory bulbs in the cranial cavity necessitates a …

Abstract Background: The 3-meter Timed Up and Go test (TUG) is a reliable quantitative test
for assessment of gait and balance. We aimed to establish an optimal threshold of TUG at …

Background Clinical examination, including pre-and postoperative assessment of olfaction,
is essential in evaluating surgical outcomes in patients with olfactory groove meningiomas …

Object The objective of this study was to evaluate the ophthalmological outcome, nonvisual
morbidity, and surgical complications after tuberculum sellae meningioma (TSM) removal …

Abstract Object Olfactory groove meningiomas (OGMs) constitute a unique subset of
intracranial meningiomas, since they usually remain clinically silent for a long period of time …

Object Minimally invasive approaches have been proposed for the treatment of anterior
cranial base pathology. Whereas earlier studies have quantified surgical exposure by …

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated olfactory dysfunction after using a contralateral or
ipsilateral pterional approach for anterior circulation aneurysms and related risk factors …
