Parasagittal meningiomas

Abstract

Parasagittal meningiomas are defined as meningiomas that grow into at least one wall of the superior sagittal sinus. Long- and short-term morbidity is, in addition to cortical function, related to management of venous structures and flow. Clinical management needs to address the extent of removal in the sinus wall and to address relations to the adjacent cortex, which is highly eloquent in the Rolandic and calcarine areas.
