Abstract

Tuberculum sellae meningiomas are challenging tumors that can cause significant morbidity for patients because of their proximity to critical neurovascular structures. By studying the anatomy of the tuberculum, the manner in which these tumors grow and cause deficits becomes apparent, as also the challenges associated with surgical removal and management. The necessary preoperative workup and grading scales for preoperative evaluation of tuberculum meningiomas are discussed. Traditional open cranial approaches for resection are discussed and contrasted with the endoscopic endonasal approach. Finally, postoperative management, patient outcomes, and adjuvant therapy for management of residual tumor are considered.
