Abstract

The standard treatment for planum sphenoidale meningiomas (PSMs) and olfactory groove meningiomas (OGMs) is resection. Traditional transcranial approaches and a variety of minimally invasive techniques, such as endoscopic endonasal and endoscope-assisted subfrontal approaches, have risen in popularity. The authors describe a surgical technique for PSMs and OGMs using a purely endoscopic subfrontal keyhole approach (PESKA). Gross-total resection was achieved in all patients using PESKA. There were no new neurological symptoms postoperatively. PESKA for PSMs and OGMs is a useful surgical technique that allows for a smaller craniotomy and faster surgery, resulting in less invasiveness for patients.
