  • Title: Meningioma of the paranasal sinuses.
    Author: Lee KF, Suh JH, Lee YE, Berry RG.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1979 Mar 23; 17(3):165-71. PubMed ID: 450238.
    Abstract:
    Meningiomas originating in the paranasal sinuses are rare. These tumors are thought to arise from embryonal arachnoid nests which were pinched off and left behind during embryonic development. We have described various radiographic findings of two patients with meningioma arising in the paranasal sinuses (frontal sinus origin in a 65-year-old female, and sphenoid sinus origin in a 26-year-old female). The paranasal origin of meningioma was accurately determined on the basis of CT and arteriography. A review of the 11 cases previously reported and our cases indicates that there are no specific clinical or radiographic findings of meningiomas of the paranasal sinuses.
