  • Title: Meningiomas presenting with paranasal sinus involvement.
    Author: Morris KM, Campbell D, Stell PM, MacKenzie I, Miles JB.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 1990; 4(6):511-5. PubMed ID: 2076213.
    Abstract:
    Extracranial paranasal spread of meningiomas is uncommon. We describe the management of four cases, all of which first presented to an oto-rhino-laryngologist for an opinion. We suggest that greater use of modern imaging techniques could lead to earlier diagnosis. The natural history of extracranial spread is relatively benign but the management of regrowth of residual disease is difficult. We therefore suggest radical surgery in the first instance provided that the patients general health and configuration of the tumour allow.
