Familial Tuberculum Sellae Meningiomas
The Journal of Craniofacial Surgery
|August 29, 2020
Summary
Familial meningiomas may result from chromosomal deletions and the loss of tumor suppressor genes. This study explored the genetic mechanisms behind these rare brain tumors in three cases.
Area of Science:
- Neuro-oncology
- Genetics
- Pathology
Background:
- Familial meningiomas are rare brain tumors with an unclear genetic basis.
- Tuberculum sellae meningiomas represent a specific subtype, and familial occurrence warrants further investigation into underlying genetic mechanisms.

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
4.1K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

3.1K
The cranial and spinal meninges are complex protective structures surrounding the central nervous system (CNS), consisting of the brain and spinal cord. These meninges consist of the dura mater, the arachnoid mater, and the pia mater. They protect the CNS, provide structural support, and aid in circulating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Cranial Meninges
These meningeal layers cover the cranium. The dura mater is the outermost layer of cranial meninges. It is a thick and durable membrane of dense...
