    Summary

    Sphenoid ridge meningiomas can cause parkinsonian symptoms, often without response to treatment. Tumor removal effectively resolved these extrapyramidal symptoms, highlighting a crucial link between brain tumors and neurological deficits.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Oncology

    Context:

    • Sphenoid ridge meningiomas are tumors that can present with varied neurological symptoms.
    • Parkinsonian syndrome, characterized by extrapyramidal symptoms, is typically associated with neurodegenerative disorders.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the relationship between sphenoid ridge meningiomas and the development of parkinsonian symptoms.
    • To analyze the efficacy of surgical tumor removal in resolving these symptoms.

    Summary:

    • This study reports two cases of sphenoid ridge meningiomas causing parkinsonian symptoms, which were unresponsive to antiparkinsonian medication.
    • Extrapyramidal symptoms resolved promptly after tumor resection in both patients.
    • Literature review of 75 cases suggests meningiomas, particularly frontal ones, are implicated in extrapyramidal symptoms, with resolution post-surgery.

    Impact:

    • Demonstrates that extrapyramidal symptoms can be a manifestation of sphenoid ridge meningiomas.
    • Highlights the importance of considering intracranial tumors in the differential diagnosis of parkinsonism.
    • Underscores the potential for complete symptom reversal following surgical intervention for meningiomas.
