Objective This study was aimed to present the complete removal of a large recurrent Meckel's cave meningioma. Design This study is a case report. Setting The study was conducted at Department of Neurosurgery and Skull Base Laboratory at Lariboisiére Hospital, Paris. Participant A 53-year-old male was presented with a severe V1, V2, and V3 hypoesthesia and pain. He was operated 7 years ago for a right Meckel's cave meningioma with postoperative V1–V2 hypoesthesia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a large tumor recurrence extending into the cavernous sinus (CS), posterior fossa (PF), sphenoid sinus (SS), pterygopalatine (PPF), and infratemporal fossa (ITF; Fig. 1). Main Outcome Measures Radiological results and postoperative course were assessed for this study. Results The previous right frontotemporal approach was used. The lateral wall of the orbit, the middle fossa floor and the anterior temporal base were drilled to expose the orbit, PPF, and ITF. Foramen ovale (FO), foramen rotondum (FR), and superior orbital fissure (SOF) were opened. The meningoorbital band was cut and the lateral wall of CS was elevated (Fig. 2). The inferior orbital fissure was opened and tumor removed into the ITF, PPF, and orbit. After entering Meckel's cave from above, tumor was removed from PF. After microsurgical tumor removal, a 45-degree endoscope was used to remove tumor remnant and mucosa into SS. A watertight dural closure with pericranium was performed, reinforced with autologous fat and fibrin glue. Postoperative MRI showed complete tumor resection (Fig. 1). The patient experienced a right-side keratitis that resolved within 10 days and a V3 hypoesthesia that improved at 2 months. Conclusion This surgical case shows how the anatomical knowledge is mandatory in skull base surgery and how the integration of microsurgical and endoscopic-assisted techniques allows to obtain optimal results.The link to the video can be found at: https://youtu.be/qxt_389AdWU.
