Abstract:
Olfactory groove meningiomas (OGMs) are midline meningiomas of the anterior cranial fossa. They often grow to large sizes before producing symptoms. This, together with the increasing use of neuroimaging, has made diagnosing OGMs incidentally a more likely scenario. Due to the position of OGMs in relation to the frontal lobe, these tumors are likely to cause neuropsychiatric symptoms. In this report, we present a 41-year-old female who was diagnosed with incidental OGM and focus on the patient's perspective; she reported anxiety and frontal headaches only after being diagnosed with the tumor.
