Purpose: The study aims to examine the possible correlation between genomic alterations and preoperative olfactory function in patients with olfactory groove meningioma (OGM), due to the frequent presence of olfactory impairment.
Methods: We utilised next-generation sequencing to analyse samples from 22 individuals with OGM in order to detect driver mutations. Tumour morphology was assessed using preoperative imaging, whereas olfactory function was examined using Sniffin' Sticks.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess risk factors for neurological deficits after surgery for petroclival meningioma (PCM), focusing on standard craniotomy techniques.
- A total of 158 patients were evaluated, revealing new cranial nerve deficits in 27.3% post-surgery, with a 59.4% rate of gross total resection (GTR) and a 2.3% mortality rate.
- The findings suggest that outcomes significantly improve for patients with softer, smoother tumors located unilaterally, emphasizing the importance of tumor characteristics in determining surgical success and minimizing neurological risks.
Introduction: Ionizing radiation can cause increased opacity of the lens and later lead to radiation-induced cataract. Therefore, the eye lens should be positioned outside of the direct radiation beam in cranial computed tomography (CCT). If this is not possible, protective measures must be taken, which includes the use of external lens protectors.
