Clinical Experiences in Olfactory Groove Meningiomas

Abstract

Olfactory groove meningiomas (OGM) account for 4 to 13% of all intracranial meningiomas. They arise in the anterior fossa over the cribri-form plate and crista galli to the planum sphenoidale. 24 patients suffering from OGM operated between 2006 and 2010 in our department is retrospectively reviewed. There were 18 women and 6 men with a mean age of 55,7± 8,6 years (range 39 to 75 yrs) The most common presenting symptom was mental disturbance. The tumor was resected via a supraorbital craniotomy in 6 patients, bifrontal craniotomy in 17 patients, a pterional craniotomy in 1 patient. Recurrance rate was 8.4%. The mean follow-up period was 36 months. None of our patients needed surgery for postoperative CSF leaks, The surgical removal of OGM is difficult due to close anatomical relations among tumor, the anterior cerebral arteries and the optic apparatus. By the improvements in microneurosurgery, the surgical removal can be performed safely.
