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.

Visual impairment

Visual impairment (or vision impairment) is vision loss (of a person) to such a degree as to qualify as an additional support need through a significant limitation of visual capability resulting from either disease, trauma, or congenital or degenerative conditions that cannot be corrected by conventional means, such as refractive correction, medication, or surgery.

	Consequently, 58.3% of 7 cases had improved vision postoperatively, 16.7% of 2 cases remained unchanged, and 25.0% of 3 cases were worse, including one case of malignant meningioma, Visual outcome was mainly affected by a duration of symptoms, a tumor size, a preoperative visual impairment, and in special, a situation of optic nerve where compression of tumor itself and adherence to the surrounding tissues took place.
