SATURDAY, 2 PM PKT (UTC + 5:00 hours): Olfactory Groove Meningioma Mefty Made Easy Series Zoom Link stays the same. Olfactory Groove Meningioma Simplified | Surgical Anatomy & Approaches | Mefty Made Easy [2:40 PM, 3/13/2026] +92 331 2685665: In this episode of Mefty Made Easy, we simplify the concept of olfactory groove meningiomas, focusing on their surgical anatomy, clinical presentation, radiologic features, and operative approaches. These tumors arise from the anterior cranial fossa along the cribriform plate and planum sphenoidale, often presenting with anosmia, frontal lobe symptoms, and visual disturbances.
The video explains the anatomical relationships of the olfactory groove, frontal lobes, optic apparatus, and anterior cerebral arteries, helping neurosurgeons understand the key landmarks required for safe tumor removal. We also review the principles behind surgical planning and commonly used approaches such as bifrontal, unilateral subfrontal, and endoscopic endonasal approaches.
This session is designed for neurosurgery residents, fellows, and practicing neurosurgeons preparing for board examinations, viva discussions, and skull base surgical planning. Part of The Neurosurgical Case Room, dedicated to high-yield neurosurgical anatomy, operative strategies, and exam-oriented learning.
