Endoscopic transnasal resection of an anterior planum sphenoidale meningioma.

Conclusion: Planum sphenoidale meningiomas are surgically challenging due to its close proximity to important structures, such as pituitary gland, internal carotid arteries, and optic chiasm. Respecting the arachnoid plane and generous coagulation of vascular supply from the ethmoid arteries facilitate safe removal. PMID: 32844050 [PubMed]
