Abstract

Meningiomas are the most common intracranial brain tumor. Spheno-orbital meningiomas are a rare subtype that originate at the sphenoid wing and characteristically extend to the orbit and surrounding neurovascular structures via bony hyperostosis and soft tissue invasion. This review summarizes early characterizations of spheno-orbital meningiomas, presently understood tumor characteristics, and current management strategies.

Keywords: En plaque meningioma; Frontotemporal; Hyperostosis; Orbital apex; Spheno-orbital meningioma.
