Endoscopic transnasal resection of an anterior planum sphenoidale meningioma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Planum sphenoidale meningiomas comprise about 2% of all primary intracranial tumors. More often, they carry a significant surgical challenge due to their relation to the surrounding vital neurovascular structures.
