    A 66-year-old female patient with a large left clinoid meningioma wrapping around the trunk and bifurcation of the internal carotid artery, elevating the left middle cerebral artery, and invading the left optic canal. We demonstrate the safe performance of a cranio-orbital craniotomy with extradural anterior clinoidectomy, optical unroofing, and piecemeal tumor removal to cautiously unwrap the tumor from the encased left ICA trunk, branches, and bifurcation for gross total resection.
