Advances in radiotherapy techniques have led to the adoption of more conservative approaches in the management of cavernous sinus meningioma. Internal carotid artery encasement and invasion has been documented in these cases; however, ischemic presentation secondary to internal carotid artery stenosis or occlusion by meningioma in the region of the cavernous sinus is rare, with only few cases reported in the literature.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>OBJECTIVE<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To report our surgical technique and experience with bypass grafting for cavernous sinus meningiomas that invade or narrow the internal carotid artery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report 2 patients who presented with signs and symptoms attributed to cavernous carotid artery occlusion secondary to cavernous sinus meningioma in the last 5 yr.

<jats:p>Although the cerebrovascular insufficiency in this subset of patients is attributed to the occlusion of the cavernous carotid artery caused by the tumor, we propose treating those patients
