infratemporal fossa parts. Eleven of the patients, who had residual tumors,

were submitted to adjuvant radiation therapy and postoperative imaging

revealed tumors were stable in size. Nine patients that had regrowth of tumors

were not radiated. Mean time follow-up was 51.8 months (18-96 months).

Conclusions: Proptosis, visual acuity and cosmetic problems can be improved

by surgery. The severity of preoperative visual acuity impairment is an

important factor in prognosis of visual outcome. The goals of treatment are

tumor removal and tumor control especially intracranial part, improvement of

visual acuity impairment and cosmetic appearance including prevention of

regrowth. Therefore, postoperative adjuvant radiation therapy may be an

option for residual en plaque sphenoid wing meningioma.
