Modified retrosigmoid extended approach to jugular tubercle meningioma: A video abstract.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Primary jugular fossa meningiomas are one of the rarest subgroups of meningioma, with an estimated incidence of 0.7-4.3% of all skull base meningiomas. Indeed, only 145 cases of jugular foramen meningiomas have been reported in the literature to date. While meningiomas of this region are typically referred to as "jugular foramen meningiomas," we make a distinction between meningiomas arising directly from the foramen itself, and those arising from the jugular tubercle. Jugular tubercle meningiomas, therefore, represent an even smaller subset of an already uncommon location for meningiomas. The jugular tubercle is the upper surface of the lateral parts of occipital bone presents an oval eminence, which overlies the hypoglossal canal and is sometimes crossed by an oblique
