Abstract: Olfactory groove meningiomas arise in the midline over the cribriform plate and occupy the floor of the anterior cranial fossa, extending all the way from the crista galli to the tuberculum sellae [1]. However, in rare cases the tumor may show extension into the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, simulating a nasosinusal tumor like esthesioneuroblastoma thus representing a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge [2]. This article presents the result from the surgical treatment of a patient with a recurrent olfactory groove meningioma treated in Neurology and Neurosurgery Institute in order to evaluate the efficacy a combining of endonasal endoscopic approach and transcranial approach. Surgical considerations and a critical literature review is presented.
