Abstract

The endonasal route may be feasible for the resection of anterior cranial base tumors that abut the paranasal sinuses. There are several case reports and mixed case series discussing this approach. Other than pituitary adenomas, there is a lack of literature describing the outcomes of endonasal approaches for single-tumor types such as meningiomas. In this study, we describe our current endoscopic endonasal technique and demonstrate the feasibility of using it to access anterior cranial base meningiomas from the back wall of the frontal sinus to the sella and laterally to the region of the midorbit. After this discussion, which includes key technical considerations and nuances, we address safety and efficacy by reporting the outcomes of our early experience with endoscopic endonasal resection of 35 anterior cranial base meningiomas. A total of 35 patients underwent endoscopic endonasal resection of anterior cranial base meningiomas from October 2002 to October 2005. Degree of resection by tumor location was as follows: 10 of the 12 (83%) patients with olfactory groove meningiomas planned for complete resection underwent gross total (seven of 12) or near-total (>95%) (three of 12) resection (67% of all 15 olfactory tumors); 12 o...Continue Reading
