The importance of early diagnosis and treatment of the meningiomas of the planum sphenoidale and tuberculum sellae: a retrospective study of 105 cases

G N Kadis et al. Surg Neurol. 1979 Nov.

Abstract

Delay in the diagnosis of meningiomas of the tuberculum sellae and planum sphenoidale is detrimental to the patient in terms of visual recovery, morbidity and mortality. Early accurate diagnosis of these tumors is possible through the use of computed tomography which is recommended for all patients with unexplained impairment of vision. In this article 105 cases of meningiomas of the planum sphenoidale and tuberculum sellae are reviewed. In only five cases was the diagnosis made within three months of the onset of the symptoms.
