[Postoperative visual improvement in spheno-orbital meningioma: a case report]

A 59-year-old woman complained of right eye proptosis and visual impairment (20/100) lasting 2 months. CT and MRI scans disclosed a right spheno-orbital meningioma ranging over the optic foramen and cavernous sinus. Histopathology revealed transitional meningioma. Visual acuity (20/25), visual field, and proptosis were improved after surgery at the time of the ophthalmologic examination 6 months later. We present an additional case and review the available literature concerning postoperative visual outcome.
