摘要
Vasospasm after resection of skull base tumors is a rare complication that often produces relevant ischemic sequelae. This review of the literature reports a number of published experiences that can help determine the potential causes of vasospasm after cerebello-pontine angle (CPA) tumor and -in particular-vestibular schwannoma (VS) resection, the ways to prevent it, and the methods to obtain the correct diagnosis. The cause appears to be multifactorial and the surgical approach may contribute to the pathogenesis of vasospasm. Neurosurgeons must pay attention to detect possible vasospasm at an early stage of cerebello-pontine. Cerebral blood flow measurement and transcranial Doppler are useful monitoring tools. Intra-operative prevention of vasospasm during CPA tumor resection with papaverine hydrochloride (PPV) seems to play a relevant role. In particular, PPV is a direct-acting vasodilator used to manage vasospasm during various neurosurgical operations. There is large uncertainty about intracisternal PPV dose-related efficacy and side effects. Dilution of PPV in saline prior to application is recommended to avoid complications. In our experience, in line with the literature, we use a pure PPV without excipients 60 mg/2 ml diluted in 20 cc of 0,9% saline solution (0,3%) to prevent Hearing Loss during Posterior Fossa Microvascular Decompression for Typical Trigeminal Neuralgia and other cranial nerves potentially involved during VS and other CPA tumor resection. The aim of this commentary is to analyze and discuss the role of diluted intracisternal PPV for microvascular protection of cranial nerves during CPA tumor surgery.
