Sumario: | The authors performed an endoscopic endonasal transpetroclival approach for recurrent bilateral petroclival meningioma, with the aim of sufficient tumor resection with cranial nerve functional preservation. The tumor was sufficiently removed with excellent postoperative course. Petroclival meningioma, especially located in the medial region with dural attachment of the clivus, is considered a good indication for this approach. Recurrent tumors after radiotherapy often have strong adhesion to the brainstem and basilar artery; therefore, careful assessment of whether or not tumor detachment is possible is essential. The endoscopic endonasal transpetroclival approach is an acceptable, less-invasive treatment for petroclival tumors.
