We report a rare case of hypoglossal canal meningioma in a 65-year-old woman who presented with dysphagia. Neurological examination revealed left hypoglossal nerve palsy. Head computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a lesion around the left hypoglossal canal. She underwent a total resection with a midline suboccipital transcondylar approach. There were no postoperative complications, and the hypoglossal nerve palsy improved. There was no recurrence nine months after the surgery. Choosing a surgical approach that considers the site of origin and extent of tumor extension is important.
