According to its location, the surgical treatment of intracranial meningioma can be of considerable challenge for the neurosurgeon. The aplication of neuronavigation for meningioma surgery is commonly related to tumor localization. However, this concept is applied only to convexity located lesions. Its usage can range from a simple craniotomy flap localization to a deep brain tumor resection respecting tract fibers, eloquent areas and neurovascular structures. In some cases, neuronavigation may not be necessary, but, ifavaliable, it should promotes a safer surgery, as it has yet to become an integral part of intracranial procedures. The aim of this article is show how to enhance the neuronavigation usage for meningioma surgery.
