    BackgroundCavernoma of the optic chiasm is a rare disease, and the most common clinical presentation is chiasmal apoplexy. Almost all the cases reported in the literature were treated surgically with craniotomy.Case DescriptionWe report a case of optochiasmatic cavernoma successfully resected via an endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach (EETA).ConclusionsRapid diagnosis and complete resection of a symptomatic optochiasmatic cavernoma are helpful in improving visual dysfunction. EETA is an alternative, minimally invasive technique for resecting this type of lesion.Copyright © 2017. Published by Elsevier Inc.
