Background: Foramen magnum meningiomas are challenging tumors, requiring special considerations because of the vicinity of the medulla oblongata, the lower cranial nerves, and the vertebral artery. After detailing the relevant anatomy of the foramen magnum area, we will explain our classification system based on the compartment of development, the dural insertion, and the relation to the vertebral artery.

Conclusion: As foramen magnum meningioma is very difficult to approach, with the help of microscope with proper training. We can remove completely without any deficit.
