Endoscopic endonasal resection via a transsphenoidal and transpterygoid approach for sphenoid ridge meningioma extending into the sphenoid sinus: A case report and literature review
Abstract
Highlights • Extracranial meningiomas are rare, of a secondary type, and of intracranial origin.• We describe a case of sphenoid ridge meningioma extending into the sphenoid sinus.• The tumor was resected by staged transcranial and endoscopic endonasal resection.• A transsphenoidal and transpterygoid approach was used.• This approach provided adequate visualization for removal of the tumor.
