ABSTRACT

We present a small series of nine patients with cranial metastasis adjacent to some vault venous sinus submitted to resective surgery in our service. All presented unique metastasis and Karnofsky’ index superior to 70% at the moment of diagnosis. The more considered differential diagnosis was meningioma. Metastasis debut was synchronous with primary tumor in all cases predominating prostatic adenocarcinoma. Longitudinal superior sinus was the most frequently involved. With a radical surgical policy complemented with an appropriate adjuvant therapeutics we obtain a significant prolongation and increase life quality.
