Intervention the lesion was resected through the subfrontal approach after performing a bifrontal craniotomy with a supraorbital osteotomy. Pathology informed meningioma. Postoperatively the patient showed transient left ptosis, diplopia and CSF fistula. After 19 months the patient was asymptomatic and control MRI showed no tumor.

Conclusion:
