Tóm tắt

Sphenoid wing meningiomas (SWMs) are named because of their site of origin which is in the vicinity of the sphenoid wing. They are further classified into globoid type and en plaque (aka spheno-orbital meningiomas). These tumours are known for their difficult management because of their invasion to various neurovascular structures and bones. Surgical removal of these tumours is challenging. Complete surgical excision of the tumour is not always guaranteed; hence, intentional incomplete removal sometimes is mandatory to reduce postoperative morbidity. The purpose of this case report is to emphasize and describe the unexplored role of total maxillectomy in the excision of the extensive skull base tumours involving the orbit and infratemporal fossa. In this case report, we are presenting a case of a 50-year-old male diagnosed a case of atypical sphenoid wing meningioma with orbital and paranasal sinus extension who was previously operated on by extracranial approach and presented with the recurrence. Here, we are providing insight and surgical management of this case using total maxillectomy as an approach to access the intracranial approach. Maxillectomy with orbital exenteration can be used as a successful surgical approach to manage skull base lesions and intracranial tumours without any evident post-op complications.
