Prognostic factors for olfactory groove meningioma with nasal cavity extension

Prognostic factors for olfactory groove meningioma with nasal cavity extension

Objectives Meningioma recurrence remains a significant issue. No study has described the relationship between the clinical features and prognosis of communicating meningioma that primarily originates from the olfactory groove. The aim of the study was to identify prognostic factors of communicating olfactory groove meningiomas that could be stratified according to their risk of recurrence. Re...

Olfactory Groove Meningioma Extension to Paranasal Sinus and Nasal Cavity: Combined Approach by Unilateral Subfrontal and Endoscopic Endonasal

The local extension of olfactory groove meningioma into the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity eroding underlying bone in young patients is considered as an unusual and extremely rare event. We report the case of a 25-year-old female of primary growth of olfactory groove meningioma extension to left ethmoidal sinus and nasal cavity, presented with sudden onset of seizure after delivering a baby...

Olfactory function in patients with olfactory groove meningioma.

OBJECTIVES Olfactory meningiomas are rare benign tumours and represent about 12% of all basal meningiomas. Anosmia is thought to be among the first symptoms, even though patients often present with headaches or visual problems. However, so far no detailed psychophysical tests of olfactory function have been performed in a large number of those patients. METHODS Twelve patients (five men, seve...

Value of Surgery on the Outcome of Olfactory Groove Meningioma

Background: Olfactory groove meningiomas represent a difficult problem because of involvement of the arteries of the anterior circulation as well as the anterior visual pathways when increased in size. Objective: in my study I will discuss 12 patients with olfactory groove meningiomas regarding their clinical presentation, radiological appearance, surgical approach as well as their post operati...
