A clinical study of ocular motor nerve functions after petroclival meningioma resection

ConclusionsDysfunctions of the oculomotor and abducens nerves recovered within 6 months postoperatively. Tumor extension into the suprasellar region/sphenoid sinus was the only risk factor for oculomotor nerve paralysis. Eye/eyelid movements were more sensitive than the pupillary light reflex in reflecting nerve dysfunctions. Intraoperative utilization of the infratrigeminal i nterspace was the only risk factor for abducens nerve paralysis.
