PTERIONAL MENINGIOMA: A CASE REPORT AND CLINICAL DISCUSSION
Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Meningioma is characterized as an abnormal meningeal growth from the arachnoid-mater that is usually benign. It is among the most common primary intracranial neoplasms and can be found in 1%-2.3% of autopsies. Despite that, the surgical treatment for meningioma is still a challenge, as it depends on the size of the tumor and its relation with structures such as the cranial nerves. When symptomatic, it can cause severe headache, visual disturbances, exophthalmia, and cerebellar dysfunction although it depends on the location of the meningioma. In the present paper we aim to report the case of a 56-year-old woman that was diagnosed with meningothelial meningioma of the pterion.
