 | Successful resection of the recurrence of a cavernous malformation of the optic chiasm. | f5-co-2-945: Intraoperative photograph after pterional approach from the right-hand side and resection of the cavernoma. The suction tube touches the beginning of the left optic nerve. One can look through the right-hand optic nerve, because it is extremely thin.Bottom Line: The postoperative course was uneventful.No postoperative complications were observed.To our knowledge, microsurgically complete extirpation of a recurrence of an intrachiasmatic cavernoma has not yet been reported in the literature. | Scholz M, Harders A, Lücke S, Pechlivanis I, et al. - Clin Ophthalmol (2008) |
