Expansive meningioma of the sphenoid wing: Serious repercussions on ocular and neurological function

The intraosseous meningioma is a rare form of meningioma, a generally benign tumor that originates in the meninges, the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. Unlike conventional meningiomas, which grow from the meninges, the intraosseous meningioma develops within the cranial bones, leading to bone expansion that can be clinically visible. These tumors can cause neurological symptoms due to compression of intracranial structures, as well as bone deformities and pain. Diagnosis is typically made through imaging exams such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and treatment may include surgery depending on the tumor’s location and size. The present study aims to report the case of a patient with a large intraosseous meningioma receiving ophthalmic care.
