Brain scans could help surgeons avoid nerve damage during tumor removal
NCT ID NCT02978911
First seen Jan 24, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special MRI technique can show where cranial nerves are located near skull base tumors before surgery. About 120 adults with such tumors will get a brain scan, and doctors will compare the nerve positions seen on the scan with what they find during the actual operation. The goal is to help surgeons avoid harming these nerves, which could prevent problems like facial weakness or double vision after surgery.
