Microsurgical Approach to Medial Sphenoidal Wing Meningiomas
1Ege Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi, Beyin ve Sinir Cerrahisi Anabilim Dalı, İzmir, Türkiye
Meningiomas are the most common benign intra-cranial tumors. The sphenoid bone is the third most common location for these
tumors. The medial sphenoid wing is a more challenging location due to its anatomical structure surrounded by critical arteries
and cranial nerves, and being adjacent to the cavernous sinus and the orbita. Here we aim to review the anatomical and surgical
aspects.
