Abstract
En plaque meningioma is a rare form of meningioma, representing less than 10% of meningiomas [1]. It is characterized by growth spread along the dura mater [2]. We report the case of a 63-year-old patient who consulted for an incomplete intracranial hypertension syndrome associated with a right temporal swelling and exophthalmos. Brain brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed the presence of a compressive right spheno-orbital tumor process associated with hyperostosis with meningeal thickening in the area, enhanced after contrast injection, extending to the lateral wall of the right orbit and reaching the optic nerve, responsible for grade III exophthalmos. The patient underwent subtotal surgery with adjuvant radiotherapy. After 6 months of follow-up, the patient is in clinical and radiological stability.
