[Sphenoorbital meningiomas]. / Méningiomes sphéno-orbitaires.

ABSTRACT

Sphenoorbital meningiomas account for 20% of all orbital tumors treated by neurosurgeons. Proptosis is the main clinical sign but this can be reduced with accurate surgical management. Complete tumor removal is often difficult considering the frequent extensions of the meningioma to the superior orbital fissure, the cavernous sinus, and the periorbita.
