[Domestic software, medical devices and materials in surgery for hyperostotic craniofacial meningiomas]. / Primenenie otechestvennogo programmnogo obespecheniya, meditsinskikh izdelii i materialov v khirurgii giperostoticheskikh kraniofatsial'nykh meningiom. (Klinicheskii sluchai i obzor literatury).

OBJECTIVE: The modern concept of resection of hyperostotic craniofacial meningiomas involves the desire for one-stage surgery with excision of tumor and simultaneous extensive skull defect closure. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The authors present skull defect closure with an individual implant after resection of cranioorbital meningioma in a 61-year-old man. The neoplasm was accompanied by exophthalmos and eyelid edema. The patient underwent simultaneous microsurgical resection and skull reconstruction with an individual implant. At discharge (7 days after surgery), exophthalmos regressed to 3 mm. After 3 months, ophthalmologist revealed complete regression of exophthalmos. RESULTS: Domestic software and 3D printers were used for implant modeling and preparing the necessary physical models and molds. We intraoperatively used domestic polymer and titanium fixation systems for manufacturing and fixation of implant. CONCLUSION: This clinical case confirms that resection of hyperostotic craniofacial meningioma with simultaneous bone defect closure using domestic analogues of software, technical equipment, materials and methods is possible at all stages of this procedure.

OBJECTIVE: To conduct a quantitative analysis of orbit volume at different stages of preparation and surgical treatment of patients with cranio-orbital meningiomas undergoing resection with simultaneous orbital wall reconstruction using 3D modeling and 3D printing technologies. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective cohort non-randomized study included 24 patients with cranio-orbital meningiomas. The volumes were measured by segmenting the orbital structures using the planimetric method in the Inobitec PRO software package. Three expert neurosurgeons independently performed these measurements. The implants were modeled in Blender software. We used the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and global similarity index (GSI) to analyze interrater agreement and ensure reproducibility of analysis. RESULTS: Interrater agreement on orbital markings was very high for both metrics (ICC and GSI). The ICC (A,3) for intact orbit volume was 0.99 (95% CI 0.981; 0.996, p=1.9962018^{-33}), 0.99 (95% CI 0.983; 0.996, p=1.903203^{-34}) for damaged orbit volume at the preoperative stage, 0.99 (95% CI 0.979; 0.995, p=3.5939828^{-32}) for damaged orbit volume at the stage of modeling of resection and reconstruction, 0.99 (95% CI 0.978; 0.995, p=1.1048941^{-30}) for damaged orbit volume in postoperative period. The ICC for measurements related to EI was 0.94-0.97 (very high). This analysis revealed a strong inverse relationship between EI and volume index at the preoperative stage (rho= -0.55, p=0.004987), as well as between dynamics of EI and volume indexes in perioperative period (rho= -0.59, p=0.003). We found significant relationship (p=0.006757) between implant displacement in the area of lateral orbital wall and differences of actual and theoretical volumes. CONCLUSION: The proposed method of planimetric contouring and segmentation of orbital volumes is highly accurate and reproducible. Significant patterns allow us to develop predictive models for preliminary calculation of target volume of the damaged orbit.

[Complicated course of the postoperative period with the development of epidural hygroma and intracranial hypotension after removal of cranio-orbital meningioma. Clinical case and literature review]. / Oslozhnennoe techenie posleoperatsionnogo perioda s razvitiem epidural'noi gigromy i vnutricherepnoi gipotenzii posle udaleniya kranioorbital'noi meningiomy.

Surgical removal of cranio-orbital meningiomas is an effective method of treating this pathology. Modern surgical techniques and technologies make it possible to perform operations with a low risk of complications. Lumbar drainage or repeated lumbar punctures are often used intraoperatively or in the early postoperative period to prevent nasal CSF leak; this rarely leads to the development of significant neurological symptoms. We present a case of the development of severe intracranial hypotension with the formation of a subdural hygroma in the early postoperative period after removal of a cranio-orbital meningioma in a 41-year-old patient. The operation was performed using an individual model and molds for simultaneous reconstruction of the bone defect with an implant made of polymethyl methacrylate. On the 1st and 2nd days after surgery, lumbar punctures were performed. From the 2nd day there was a progressive deterioration with the development of symptoms characteristic of intracranial hypotension. Computed tomography revealed an increasing displacement of the midline structures of the brain and an increasing volume of epidural fluid accumulation in the area of surgical intervention. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed characteristic signs of intracranial hypotension. Conservative treatment (bed rest, active hydration) had no effect. On the 6th day after surgery, an epidural blood patch procedure was performed and closed external drainage of the epidural hygroma was performed, and a rapid regression of neurological symptoms was noted. Our experience and literature data indicate that it is necessary to remember the possibility of developing clinically significant intracranial hypotension even after a single lumbar puncture. The formation of hygromas in the surgical area is characteristic of intracranial hypotension, but in most cases does not require additional surgical intervention and does not have a negative impact on the outcome of treatment. Conservative treatment of intracranial hypotension is the first choice and often sufficient. If there is no effect and the patient's condition worsens, it is necessary to perform an epidural blood patch procedure.

[Dural defect closure after resection of cranioorbital meningiomas]. / Rekonstruktsiya defektov tverdoi mozgovoi obolochki posle udaleniya kranioorbital'nykh meningiom.

Dural defect closure after resection of cranioorbital meningiomas has its own specifics. Extended malignant lesions and common large bone defects involving various anatomical regions require multiple implants or implants with complex geometry. The features of this stage of reconstruction were described in the previous issue of the Burdenko Journal of Neurosurgery. At the same time, contact of implant with nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses dictates additional requirements for tightness of soft tissue reconstruction and inertness of material. In this review, we describe modern and historically interesting methods of reconstruction of soft tissue defects following resection of cranioorbital meningioma. OBJECTIVE: To summarize and analyze available literature data on reconstruction of soft tissue defects following resection of cranioorbital meningioma. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The authors reviewed available data on reconstruction of soft tissue defects after resection of cranioorbital meningiomas. Effectiveness of reconstruction techniques and safety of materials were analyzed. RESULTS: The authors analyzed 42 available full-text articles. Features of growth and natural course of cranioorbital meningioma, methods of soft tissue defects closure, modern materials and sealing compositions are described. Considering these data, the authors proposed the algorithms for selecting materials for dural reconstruction after resection of cranioorbital meningioma. CONCLUSION: Improvement of surgical technique, development of new materials and technologies increase the efficiency and safety of dural defect closure. Nevertheless, high incidence of complications associated with dura mater repair necessitates further research in this area.

[Bone defect closure after resection of sphenoorbital meningioma]. / Rekonstruktsiya kostnykh defektov posle udaleniya kranioorbital'nykh meningiom.

Sphenoorbital meningiomas (SOM) are a subgroup of skull base tumors with soft tissue component in the orbit and anterior and/or middle cranial fossa. According to different authors, SOMs account for 2-12% of all intracranial meningiomas. Reconstruction of bone defects after resection of SOM has own nuances. Along with cranial vault repair, patients encounter with cosmetic defects following facial skull lesion, ophthalmic symptoms due to orbital defects, dental and functional problems associated with opening of the mouth in case of damage to maxilla and mandible. Predominant infiltrative growth of tumor and common large bone defects involving various anatomical regions require multiple implants or implants with complex shape. Moreover, contact of implantation area with nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses requires additional impermeability of soft tissue reconstruction and inertness of materials. OBJECTIVE: To summarize available modern data on bone defect closure after resection of SOM. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The authors reviewed available data on bone defect closure after resection of SOM. Effectiveness of modern methods of reconstruction and safety of materials were assessed. RESULTS: We analyzed 96 available references. Technical features of tumor resection, materials used for bone defect closure and modern possibilities of 3D technologies in reconstructive surgery were described. The authors proposed the algorithms for selecting the materials for bone defect closure after resection of SOM. CONCLUSION: Improvement of surgical technique and development of new materials and technologies significantly improve cosmetic and functional results. A large percentage of negative ophthalmologic outcomes and high risk of complications in SOM surgery require further studies and elaboration of modern techniques.
