Capillary hemangioma in the superior sagittal sinus as a rare cause of intracranial hypertension in a child: case report.

abstract：:The removal of large acoustic tumors is associated with increased mortality and cranial nerve injury. One method for treating these difficult lesions is staged resection. Between 1972 and 1992, more than 600 acoustic tumors were resected at our institution. Of these, 83 were removed in stages. This represents the larg...
