To address this challenge, this study reports the results of microsurgically treated SOM patients and the nuances that affect the surgical technique.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The clinical data of 14 consecutive patients who underwent surgery through a microsurgical transcranial approach were collected retrospectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Among 14 patients, exophthalmos was present in all patients, and facial numbness and visual acuity decline were both present in 50% of patients. Preoperative radiological imaging showed SOF narrowing in seven cases, optic canal compression in six cases, and CS invasion in five cases. Our surgical technique relies on direct removal of the affected GSW, promoting the removal of the temporal intradural tumor and decompression of the lateral wall of the orbit, optic canal, and SOF. Total removal of GSW is found to be beneficial in the treatment of SOMs since tumor invasion to the affected bone was observed in all cases. Simpson grade 1 resection was achieved in 64% of cases. CS invasion is present in five cases left intentionally unremoved. In two cases, a second surgery was required, while in four cases, radiotherapy was necessary.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Microsurgical treatment aiming for maximal safe resection with preservation of contents within the CS is the best option in the first-line treatment of SOMs. Aggressive removal of the bone tumor is beneficial in oncological control of the disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2678-8385","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,8]],"date-time":"2025-08-08T23:33:02Z","timestamp":1754695982000},"page":"456-461","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Microsurgical
