Abstract:
Optic sheath meningioma arises from the arachnoid "cap" cell of optic nerve sheath and comprises most of primary orbital meningioma. It usually brings early visual loss, papilledema, and proptosis. The authors expericenced a case of intraorbital optic sheath meningioma associated with a small skull hemangioma in the right parietal area, who presented only mild visual disturbance. The meningioma was removed transcranially without visual or cosmetic deformities except transient ptosis.
