Abstract
Resection of large falcine meningiomas can be challenging as overlaying cortical brain is endangered during the surgical approach. We describe the endoscope-assisted contralateral paramedian approach to large left-falcine meningiomas to avoid retraction of the ipsilateral thin layer of eloquent brain cortex. The contralateral paramedian approach enables complete tumor resection with endoscopic-assisted removal of tumor remnants in the superior aspect of the resection cavity, sparing any manipulation of ipsilateral brain tissue.
