Background Non-vestibular schwannomas are relatively rare, with trigeminal and jugular
foramen schwannomas being the most common. This is a heterogenous group which …

Objective: Schwannomas of the jugular foramen are rare lesions and controversy regarding
their management still exists. The objective of this retrospective study was to analyze the …

✓ Despite a large number of reports of the use of the far-lateral approach, some of the basic
detail that is important in safely completing this exposure has not been defined or remains …

Abstract THE JUGULAR FORAMEN, based on these studies of microsurgical anatomy, is
divided into three compartments: two venous and a neural or intrajugular compartment. The …

The jugular foramen is difficult to understand and to access surgically (3, 11, 15, 19, 24, 28).
It is difficult to conceptualize because it varies in size and shape in different crania, from side …

Purpose: To review patient outcomes after radiosurgery of nonvestibular schwannomas.
Methods and Materials: From April 1992 to February 2000, 23 patients had radiosurgery at …

The anatomy of the jugular foramen is complex. It contains the lower cranial nerves and
major vascular structures. Tumors that develop within it, or extend into it, provide significant …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Tumors of the cranial nerve sheath constitute 5% to 10%
of all intracranial neoplasms, yet few articles have described their CT and MR …

OBJECTIVE: Compared with other lower cranial nerves, the glossopharyngeal nerve
(GPhN) is well hidden within the jugular foramen, at the infratemporal fossa, and in the deep …

Object Due to the proximity and involvement of critical neurovascular structures, the
resection of jugular foramen schwannomas can pose a formidable challenge. The authors …
