ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the operative results of removing large olfactory groove meningiomas(diameter≥3 cm)using either a unilat?eral or bilateral subfrontal approach ,and to determine whether there is an advantage in the unilateral approach. Methods Sixty?nine cases of large olfactory groove meningioma,treated in our department,by either a unilateral or bilateral subfrontal approach microsurgery were retrospec?tively reviewed. Removal grading,post?operative complications,and other clinical indices were evaluated. Results Total resection(Simpson Ⅰ or Ⅱ)was achieved in all the cases. There were lesser complications with use of the unilateral subfrontal approach. Conclusion Patients with ol?factory groove meningioma have a good prognosis when a unilateral subfrontal approach is used for surgery.
