Posterior clinoid meningioma: A case report with discussion on terminology and surgical approach

BACKGROUND: Posterior clinoid process (PCP) meningiomas are rare lesions. In close proximity to these lesions are the perforators from internal carotid artery and the oculomotor nerve, which need to be considered while deciding the appropriate surgical approach. CASE DESCRIPTION: We describe a basal...

description BACKGROUND: Posterior clinoid process (PCP) meningiomas are rare lesions. In close proximity to these lesions are the perforators from internal carotid artery and the oculomotor nerve, which need to be considered while deciding the appropriate surgical approach. CASE DESCRIPTION: We describe a basal frontotemporo-orbito-zygomatic approach with splitting of the sylvian fissure to resect an eccentrically placed PCP meningioma. CONCLUSION: A basal frontotemporo-orbito-zygomatic approach with splitting of the sylvian fissure is a safe approach to resect an eccentrically placed PCP meningioma.
