Abstract
|
|
|
A case of intra-sellar meningioma is reported in view of the rarity of its kind and difficulty of accurate diagnosis by the clinicicans. The case was a 34 year old house-wife who has complained of vertigo, headiche, weakness of facial muscles, and disturbance of the vision for 5 years without evidence of pituitary hypofunction. At the surgery, a large tumor was found occupying entire sella turcica and extending into the right middle cerebral fossa giving impression of a pituitary adenoma. However, the histopathologic picture of the tumor was a clear cut meningothelial meningioma penetrating into the
pituitary parenchyma. But there was still considerable amount of the normal ´pituitary tissue left accounting for the abscence of hypopituitarism clinically.
