  • Title: Endoscopic Endonasal Approach for Removal of Tuberculum Sellae Meningiomas.
    Author: Ditzel Filho LF, Prevedello DM, Jamshidi AO, Dolci RL, Kerr EE, Campbell R, Otto BA, Carrau RL, Kassam A.
    Journal: Neurosurg Clin N Am; 2015 Jul; 26(3):349-61. PubMed ID: 26141355.
    Abstract:
    Tuberculum sellae meningiomas are challenging lesions; their critical location and often insidious growth rate enables significant distortion of the superjacent optic apparatus before the patient notices any visual impairment. This article describes the technical nuances, selection criteria and complication avoidance strategies for the endonasal resection of tuberculum sellae meningiomas. A stepwise description of the surgical technique is presented; indications, adjuvant technologies, pitfalls and the relevant anatomy are also reviewed. Tuberculum sellae meningiomas may be safely and effectively resected through the endonasal route; invasion of the optic canals does not represent a limitation.
