Background: We present a case of proptosis with headache, decrease in vision and orbital pain where patient underwent sphenoid-orbital decompression, and excision of mass, resulting in significant improvement in her vision with complete resolution of proptosis, headache and orbital pain. This study was done to diagnose and evaluate clinical outcome of hyperostotic sphenoid wing meningioma with orbital involvement after surgery.
Case: A 40 year-female presented with severe headache, right eye swelling, periorbital pain and decreasing in vision for two years, and right eye proptosis more severe for three months.
Observations: She underwent right frontotemporal craniotomy with removal of hyperostotic sphenoid wing and excision of meningioma after magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a right sphenoid wing meningioma extending orbital and middle cranial fossa. She had improvement of her symptoms post-operatively.
Conclusion: Surgical decompression of orbit with total resection of meningioma and sphenoid wing hyperostosis can result in significant improvement in the vision and proptosis.

The lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM), a critical component of the masticatory muscles, typically comprises upper (SLPM) and lower (ILPM) heads. However, it is essential to note that the LPM's structure is not a constant feature, as the number of bundles and their topography can vary. Moreover, additional heads, such as medial and middle heads, and unique-headed configurations of the LPM have been reported.

Chordoid meningioma, a rare WHO grade II tumor, is known for its aggressive behavior and high recurrence rate. We report a case of a 44-year-old woman with progressive left-sided weakness, where imaging revealed a 3.0 cm lesion in the right sphenoidal wing with significant midline shift and edema.

Objective: To devise a predictive model for estimating the requisite volume of the orbit in patients poised for resection of hyperostotic spheno-orbital meningiomas.
Material And Methods: The predictive regression model was conceived through the retrospective analysis of perioperative radiological data from 25 patients who initially underwent surgery at the Burdenko Neurosurgery Center for hyperostotic spheno-orbital meningiomas grade I. The model quality metrics were evaluated utilizing the performance library in the R programming language, including the Akaike Information Criterion, Bayesian Information Criterion, adjusted R-squared, Root Mean Squared Error, and Sigma.

A 66-year-old woman status post bony lateral orbital decompression for thyroid eye disease presented with recurrent episodes of left lateral canthal edema and erythema, despite repeated courses of oral antibiotics, titanium hardware removal, and repeated exploratory orbitotomies with debridement and curettage. MRI later revealed an intraosseous fluid collection in the left greater sphenoid wing. Another exploratory orbitotomy was performed and an intraosseous abscess was identified.

Spheno-orbital meningiomas (SOMs) are rare tumors that involve the sphenoid wing and orbit, leading to symptoms such as proptosis and vision loss. Their proximity to critical neurovascular structures complicates surgical resection, making management challenging. A systematic review of 22 paper series involving 1042 patients was conducted using PubMed and Scopus.
