Case series of trigonal meningiomas
ConclusionThe incidence of deficit is low on employing the “shortest route” approach, even in the dominant hemisphere and through eloquent area. This may be secondary to possible shift of eloquent area function due to longstanding lesion and may thus be a “workable” surgical option, especially in resource-limited centres where such resources as neuronavigation and tractography may be unavailable.
