    BackgroundThe resection of the jugum (planum) sphenoidale meningioma (JSM) is challenging, and there is a scarcity of available data in the literature. This study aimed to describe the surgical management and long-term outcome of jugum sphenoidale meningioma.MethodsThis was a retrospective, single-center, cohort study of 91 JSM patients treated in our department from 2005 to 2022. All the included patients have undergone surgical treatment. Clinical, radiologic, and surgical data were extracted with specific attention to the age at onset, family history, duration from symptoms to diagnosis, clinical presentation, quality of excision, recurrence, and treatment outcome.ResultsWHO grade I and grade II meningioma were 83.5% (n = 76) and 16.5% (n = 15) respectively. Fronto-lateral 42.9% (n = 39) and pterional approaches 57.1% (n = 52) were the 2 major surgical approaches used for the management of planum sphenoidale meningioma. Twelve patients needed emergency surgical treatment at admission: 4 (4.4%) External CSF Shunt and 8 (8.8%) VP-Shunt. We have found a statistically significant (P = 0.032) association between the quality of excision and the risk of recurrence. The GTR (Hazard ratio = 1) of the planum meningioma protects the patient from recurrence within 60 months of follow-up. Postoperative complications encountered were CSF-Leak in 2.2%, Meningitis 4.4%, surgical site infection 2.2%, and surgical site hematoma 3.3%. The overall postoperative favorable outcome was 68.1% (n = 62).ConclusionsThe pterional approach has allowed the achievement of GTR for jugum sphenoidale meningioma with protective odds from recurrence risk.Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
