Meningioma

A rare, mostly benign, primary tumor of the meninges (arachnoid cap cells), usually located in the supratentorial compartment, commonly appearing in the sixth and seventh decade of life, clinically silent in most cases or causing hyperostosis close to the tumor and resulting in focal bulging and localized pain in less than 10% of cases. Additional features may include headache, seizures, gradual personality changes (apathy and dementia), anosmia, impaired vision, exophthalmos, hearing loss, ataxia, dysmetria, hypotonia, nystagmus, and rarely spontaneous bleeding.

Sinusitis

Inflammation of the paranasal sinuses owing to a viral, bacterial, or fungal infection, allergy, or an autoimmune reaction.

Primary extradural meningiomas are rare tumours and calvarial meningiomas with extensive bony changes and frontal sinusitis are rarer still.

However, this case provides evidence that aspergillosis should be included in the differential diagnosis when a skull-base meningioma-like nodule is noted if sinusitis is revealed in the sphenoid sinus.

To the previously reported occurrence of meningioma of the lesser wing of the sphenoid and cerebral arteriovenous malformation, we may now add for the first time two cases of maxillary sinusitis.
