This article discusses the use of endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEA) in the management of foramen magnum meningiomas (FMM). FMM is a rare type of intracranial meningioma, and traditional treatment involves transcranial corridors. The study presents the experience of the authors in using EEA for FMM resection and highlights its role and limitations. The results show that EEA can be an alternative corridor for carefully selected patients with ventral FMM, especially when involvement or encasement of the anterior spinal arteries is suspected. However, CSF leak remains a significant limitation. [Extracted from the article]
