A CASE OF SUPRASELLAR MENINGIOMA

A CASE OF SUPRASELLAR MENINGIOMA


This 50 year old lady from Bangladesh came to our hospital with visual disturbances. A diagnosis of suprasellar meningioma had been made and had been operated upon in Bangladesh. There was a recurrent lesion. It was decided to irradiate her with IMRT and was boosted with Cyberknife to the required dose. This was possible with preservation of surrounding structures. Six months down the line she came for follow up. The lesion had reduced in volume and vision improved from nearly no vision to good vision.
