Surgical management of tuberculum sellae meningioma: Transcranial approach or endoscopic endonasal approach?

Abstract

Both TCA and EEA surgeries are effective in TSM resection. EEA surgery has a better outcome in vision restoration or stabilization than TCA surgery, but induces higher risk of CSF leakage. As each approach has unique advantages and limitations, we must take all aspects into consideration, including approach feathers, tumor characteristics, and clinical requirements, to make the optimal choice in TSM surgical management.
