- Abstract
Meningioma is the most common not glial intracraneal tumor and it's frequency varies between 13 to 20% of and intracraneal tumors. Intraosseous meningioma (IOM) is a very rare entity and it's frequency is less than 1% of and meningiomas. [sic] Sometimes IOM arises within the diploe of bones without dural or brain invasion, we present case in a man with IOM involving the right frontal, cigomatyc, temporal and sphenoidal bones producing deformity of that region. We are reporting the first case of IOM founded in our Medical Center since 1960 in a 49 year old man complaining with headache, 1088 of vision in the right eye and proptosis as well as deformity of the periorbital area. A frontoorbital-temporocigomatic resection was made and the histological diagnosis was IOM. Actually he is in good condition. IOM is the less common variant of meningioma wich grows within the diploe of cranial bones and differential diagnosis has to be made with fibrous dysplasia and osteoma. We review the histogenesis, frequency in our country, evolution and treatment of IOM in the available medical literature.
