Abstract:
Objective To explore the strategy of microsurgery for olfactory groove meningiomas. Methods The clinical data and surgical outcome of 22 patients with olfactory groove meningioma were retrospectively analyzed. Results Microsurgical tumor resection was performed through the bifi-ontal approach in 12 patients, unilateral subfi-ontal approach in 3 patients, pterion approach in 4 patients and supraorbital approach in 3 patients. Simpson grade Ⅰ resection was achieved in 13 cases, grade Ⅱ in 7 cases and grade Ⅲ in 2 cases. Sixteen patients were followed up for 5 months to 5 years, during which magnetic resonance imaging showed no tumor reoccurrence. Conclusion The microsurgical approach for olfactory groove mcningiomas should vary depending on the size and location of the tumors.
