Objective: En plaque sphenoid wing meningioma is a rare tumor. Complete surgical resection is difficult. Role of adjuvant radiation therapy in treatment of meningiomas is still controversial. This present study aimed to examine the clinical outcomes and to evaluate the role of adjuvant radiation for the residual tumors.
Material And Method: A retrospective study was performed in 26 patients with en plaque sphenoid wing meningioma, who underwent operation at Prasat Neurological Institution between January 2008 and December 2012. Presenting symptoms, location of tumor, surgical approach, postoperative outcomes, and adjuvant radiation were reviewed and analyzed.
Results: Among the 26 patients, their ages ranged from 31 to 57 years. All tumors were removed by transcranial approach. Eleven of the patients underwent adjuvant radiation therapy and post-radiation imaging revealed tumors being stable in size. Nine patients that had regrowth tumors were not radiated. Mean followed-up time was 51.77 months (range 18-96 months).
Conclusion: Proptosis, visual acuity and cosmetic problems can be improved by surgery. Postoperative adjuvant radiation therapy may be an option for residual en plaque sphenoid wing meningioma.

Background: To analyze the characteristics and factors influencing the diagnosis of unilateral isolated fungal sphenoid sinusitis.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients who underwent surgery for unilateral isolated sphenoid sinusitis between June 2020 and May 2023. Data collected included variables such as gender, age, side of the specimen, symptoms, sinus computed tomography findings, pathological results, and complications.

Objective: This study aimed to identify factors affecting proptosis recovery in spheno-orbital meningioma (SOM) surgery and assess functional and oncological outcomes.
Methods: Data from 32 consecutive SOM surgery cases (2002-2021) were analyzed. Clinical, radiological, operative, and oncological parameters were examined.

The authors report an extremely rare case of a massive hyperostotic meningioma en plaque, which had characteristics of unique bony growth. A 34-year-old man presented with a palpable solid mass in the left cranial region that had gradually grown in size with a broad base on the calvarium for 8 years. Radiologically, the area involved by the mass ranged from the sphenoid bone to the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital bones.

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.
