Do Not Give Up on Ossified Tuberculum Sellae Meningioma – Vision Restored

This case report accompanies a video of the treatment of a Tuberculum sellae meningioma (TSM) in a woman that presented with left eye near-blindness. The senior author conducted the operation via a pterional retractorless approach, and the patient had a full recovery. This case report discusses the unique anatomy of conchal sphenoid sinus, ossified TSM with very calcified consistency, and retractorless brain microsurgery. The resection of ossified TSM is still safe and viable with adequate microsurgical techniques and skull base instruments without compromising the neurovascular structure and with good neurological and visual outcomes for the patient.
