Visual outcomes endorse surgery of patients with spheno-orbital meningioma with minimal visual impairment or hyperostosis.

ABSTRACT:

Abtract

BACKGROUND: Most spheno-orbital meningioma series span multiple decades, and predictors of visual outcomes have not yet been systemically assessed. We describe visual outcomes in a recent cohort and assess predictors of postoperative visual outcomes.

Methods

Consecutive case series operated by a team of a neurosurgeon and orbital surgeon between May 2015 and January 2019. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), visual fields (static perimetry), and relative proptosis were measured preoperatively and postoperatively at 3/6/12 months after which it was assessed yearly. Predictors were assessed with linear regression analysis.

Results

Nineteen patients (all WHO grade I) were operated by the pterional approach (median follow-up 2.4 years). Preoperative visual acuity
