Cutler et al. presented the surgical decision-making and intraoperative details regarding the endonasal endoscopic resection of an OGM using a minimally invasive, endonasal approach in a 68-year-old female patient.
Giant OGMs can be safely and effectively removed using an endonasal, transcribriform approach 1).

Herein, the authors describe a 39-year-old female who presented with a progressively enlarging olfactory groove meningioma. An endoscopic endonasal resection with a septal transposition technique was performed. On follow-up, the nasal cavity had completely normal anatomy with preservation of the turbinates and nasal septum. The authors conclude that septal transposition is a useful technique that allows wide exposure of the anterior cranial base with maximal preservation of normal nasal anatomy and avoidance of a large septal perforation 2).

Webb-Myers et al. report a case of olfactory groove meningioma treated with a minimally invasive entirely endoscopic technique. The endoscopic endonasal technique represents a possible alternative for suitably selected cases and could be expected to minimize neuropsychiatric sequelae 3)
