Sphenoid wing meningioma
Updates to Case Attributes
SphenoidThis case demonstrates strong radiological features in keeping with a sphenoid wing meningiomainvolves involving the region of the anterior clinoid, adjacent medial sphenoid wing, superior orbital fissure, and cavemouscavernous sinus.
It exhibits imaging criteria of usual meningioima, with possibility of atypical appearance and agressive behavior possibility as well.
It is classified into two types based on gross appearance; en-plaque and globoid meningiomas.
It exertsexerts a compressive effect on the adjacent skull foramina as compression on the optic nerve.
The tumor often encases the internal carotid and proximal middle and anterior cerebral arteries as well as the optic nerve and may compress or/and provoke edemaTumours in the temporal or frontal lobes.
En-plaque typethis region can slowly extend to the orbit resulting in slowly progressive proptosis and visual disturbance.
It is They are also associated with sphenoid wing hyperostosis in many cases.
