Endoscopic Endonasal Approach for Tuberculum Sellae Meningiomas: Surgical Results

Objective: Tuberculum sellae meningiomas (TSM) arise from the tuberculum sellae, limbus sphenoidale, and chiasmatic sulcus, and because of its location surrounded by the optic nerves and internal carotid arteries are surgically challenging tumors even in small sizes. Advancements in endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery as the development of the transtuberculum–transplanum corridor, that offers direct and immediate exposure to the tumor and medial optic nerves without brain retraction and crossing of neurovascular structures have added another perspective to the treatment of TSM.
