Abstract

Abstract:

The optimal treatment for tuberculum sellae meningioma (TSMs) is to remove the tumor completely and maximize the protection of visual function. Reasonable selection of surgical approach is the key to successful and safe resection of TSMs. Based on the purpose and indications of TSMs, this review discusses the criteria and requirements for the selection of surgical approaches for TSMs, the relationship between surgical approaches and total tumor resection and postoperative vision improvement, and the adaptation of transcranial and transsphenoidal approaches, so as to guide clinicians to choose the best surgical path more accurately.

Key words: Tuberculum sellae meningioma, Transcranial approach, Transsphenoidal approach, Visual function
