Description
Summary:Skeletonization of the sinus and/or resection of the fistula are associated with significant intraoperative hemorrhage and very high morbidity and mortality. [...]transcranial access to the sinus was considered as a safe and viable option. {Figure 3} In a country with divided houses of interventional and micro-neurosurgical fraternity, this report illustrates how collaboration can decrease morbidity and allow for treatment of lesions otherwise not amenable to cure via single modality.
