AbstractTuberculum sellae meningioma remains a surgical challenge. Deep location of tumor, vascular and nerve encasement, and pituitary stalk involvement are the main technical issues. The frontopterional approach represents a natural, simple, and elegant approach to this area enabling surgeon to have a direct control on all anatomical structures. A 42-year-old woman was referred with a delayed diagnosis of tuberculum sellae meningioma due to the presence of HLA-B27-associated uveitis. She presented with 1/10 visual acuity in the left eye and no right visual function. A left frontopterional craniotomy was performed. Visual function improved postoperatively. The video illustrates the cisternal anatomy via pterional approach.The link to the video can be found at: https://youtu.be/Hmbf5bt7A64.

Abstract Background Tuberculum sellae meningiomas (TSMs) adherent to neurovascular structures are particularly challenging lesions requiring delicate and precise microneurosurgery. There is an ongoing debate about the optimal surgical approach. Method We describe technical nuances and challenges in TSM resection using the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) in two cases of fibrous tumors with adherence to neurovascular structures. The cases are illustrated with a video (case 1) and figures (cases 1 and 2). Conclusion A dedicated team approach and precise microsurgical technique facilitate safe resection of complex TSMs through the EEA.
