Abstract
Petroclival meningiomas are surgically challenging due to the surrounding neurovascular structures. Petroclival meningiomas located inferior to the oculomotor nerve and superior or medial to the abducens nerve are ideal for an endoscopic endonasal transclival approach because this prevents the need to work across cranial nerves, limiting operative risk. The authors present a case of a 45-year-old woman with a growing petroclival meningioma that was distorting the pons. In the video they demonstrate the technique and discuss nuances of petroclival meningioma resection via an endoscopic endonasal transclival approach with posterior clinoidectomy.The video can be found here: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2022.1.FOCVID21209
