Surgical outcome of tuberculum sellae and planum sphenoidale meningiomas based on Sekhar-Mortazavi tumor classification.

CONCLUSIONS: Transcranial surgery provided very satisfying results with respect to visual and endocrine outcomes with very low surgical morbidity. The Sekhar-Mortazavi classification showed a trend towards better visual outcomes in Class I tumors. The classification system is easy to apply and could therefore prove useful to compare results between studies reported in literature, especially when comparisons are made between transcranial and endonasal surgery.
