Contralateral supraorbital eyebrow approach for tuberculum sellae meningioma

Published in: Acta Neurochirurgica | Issue 10/2023

Abstract

Background

The main challenge in tuberculum sellae meningioma (TSM) resection is the safe dissection of the optic nerves, which many a times are compressed and distorted by the tumor. While intuitive, an approach from the side of predominant tumor extension makes tumor dissection from the medial surface of the ipsilateral optic nerve rather blind. We describe here a contralateral supraorbital eyebrow approach (c-SEA) to address this “blind spot.”

Method

c-SEA was performed using a 2 × 2 cm craniotomy. The patient improved after surgery and postoperative imaging confirmed the totality of the tumor resection.

Conclusion

c-SEA can be an excellent minimally invasive option for asymmetric TSM.
