Development of neurosurgery in Greece: past, present, and future.

abstract：:A cavernous hemangioma occurring in the cavernous sinus is a rare vascular tumor that causes cranial nerve symptoms by direct compression. Surgical removal is often difficult because excessive intraoperative bleeding is expected. These lesions remain a therapeutic challenge even with state-of-the-art treatment modalit...
