Abstract

In the presented case report, the combination of computer-assisted planning using rapid prototyping techniques and image-guided surgery allowed for an extensive tumor resection precisely according to a preoperative treatment plan in a patient presenting with a large intraosseous sphenoid wing meningioma. A larger clinical series with a long-term follow-up period will be needed to determine the reproducibility.
