Abstract
- Suprasellar meningiomas are uncommon intracranial tumors representing approximately 4-10% of intracranial meningiomas and the total excision is sometimes hazardous because of surrounding vital structures. We have experienced four cases of this lesion during last three years and the masses were approached through frontoparietal craniotomy and lateral subfrontal approach and were removed completely with microsurgical technique. Visual disturbances were improved in three cases and unchanged in one case. The literatures are also reviewed.
