Application of neuronavigation in Neurosurgery at King Hussein Medical Center, Jordan.
Rawal Med J Jan ;35(1):91-4.

Objective: To evaluate use of neuronavigation in interdisciplinary surgery for complicated tumors or trauma of the anterior or lateral skull base. Methods: Neuronavigation image guidance was used in the surgical management of 40 patients, one with large orbital roof meningioma causing proptosis and visual deterioration, and the others with small cortical tumor, motor strip lesion and larger size tumors. Results: The patients underwent successful cranial surgery aided by intraoperative neuronavigation. The orbital roof meningioma was removed completely with no damage to the frontal sinus and motor strip lesions without neurological deficit and with good cosmetic result. Conclusion: Image-guided neuronavigation in our cases allowed for safe and precise surgery, with avoidance of complications. (Rawal Med J 2010;35: 91-94).
