Özet

Meningiomas originating from the olfactory groove account for approximately 10% of all intracranial meningiomas. They represent only 2% of all intracranial tumors. We present the diagnostic, clinical and pathological features of olfactory groove meningiomas and describe our surgical results and complications in a series of 25 patients. In 19 patients, surgery was via a bifrontal approach, and in the remaining six a pterional approach was used. (C) 2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
