Diagnosis
Management
Monitoring & Follow-up
Postoperative follow-up to assess for recurrence and neurological status, including regular neurological examinations.
Risks
Patient & Prescribing Data
Direct craniotomy was preferred over preoperative embolization due to risks of ischemia, emphasizing the rationale behind this choice.
Clinical Best Practices
Perform thorough imaging to assess for vascular malformations prior to surgery.
Ensure watertight dural closure post-resection to prevent complications.
Implement a structured postoperative care plan to monitor for complications.
