Surgery of peritorcular meningiomas: the structural basis for preservation of torcular venous flow
The anatomical composition of the torcular wall provides a plane of dissection to remove torcular meningiomas with preservation of venous channels and flow in cases in which the inner venous wall is not disrupted (types I and II). Tumors with occlusion of the torcula (types III and IV) mandate preservation of venous collaterals.
