Came with a cold, went to the neurosurgeon: PIMU removed the tumor

In the University clinic PIMU Nizhny Novgorod removed a two-centimeter osteoma, although the man turned to doctors about a “simple runny nose and headache” – with the direction to the neurosurgeon, he left after the examination.

The tumor is formally benign, but grows slowly and destroys surrounding tissue. It was located in a lattice labyrinth, at the base of the skull, at the junction with the orbit of the eye, so any careless movement threatened to damage the base of the skull and a massive flow of CSF right during the operation. Because of this, the intervention was carried out by two — ENT surgeon Grigory Belozerov and neurosurgeon Mikhail Ostapyuk.

The neoplasm was removed completely, and his bed was cleaned to exclude relapse. The sinuses again breathe freely, and, as doctors note, the patient will forget about protracted colds.
