ABSTRACT
We report a case of a ventral foramen magnum meningioma in a 73-year-old woman presenting with swallowing difficulty, posterior neck pain, gaiting difficulty, progressive motor and sensory deficits in all extemities, and intrinsic muscle atrophy in both hands. Magnetic resonace imaging revealed a huge mass, 4x4x4.5cm in size, located in anterior foramen magnum. We removed the mass by partial condylectomy via far lateral transcondylar approach without neurological deficit and postoperative craniovertebral instability.
Key Words: Foramen magnum; Meningioma; Transcondylar approach; Occipital condyle; Craniovertebral instability
