General information
- Meningiomas are a group of tumors that are believed to originate in meningothelial cells of the arachnoid membrane.
- They may be intracranial (MC), intraorbital, or intra-spinal.
Anterior skull base Meningiomas
Nomenclature
- Olfactory Groove Meningiomas (OGM)
Nomenclature of anterior skull base meningiomas - Planum Sphenoidale Meningiomas
- Tuberculum Sellae Meningioma (TSM)
Clinical Presentation
- Personality Δ
- H/A
- Sz's
- Visual deficits
- Anosmia
- Foster-Kennedy syndrome of unilateral optic atrophy and contralateral papilledema
Comparison of OGM and TSM
| Factor | OGM | TSM |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Cribriform, frontosphenoid suture | Planum sphenoidale, tuberculum sellae |
| Blood supply | Ant & pos ethmoidals, middle meningeal, ophthalmic (meningeal branch, ACA & ACoA) | Pos ethmoidal (ACA & ACoA) |
| Olfactory nerves | Superolat | Inferolat |
| Optic nerve/chiasm | Inferolat → pushes backward | Superolat → pushes upward |
| ACA | Pos. to posterosuperior | Posterosuperior |
Diagnosis
