Özet
Introduction: Primary intradiploic meningiomas account for <1% of all osseous calvarial lesions and are categorized as bone tumors. They are frequently observed in the frontotemporal region of the calvarium, anterior cranial fossa, and orbit. We present a case of intradiploic meningioma of the orbital roof, which is rarely observed in the pediatric age-group; it was surgically treated with a unique minimally invasive approach. Case Presentation: A 16-year-old male with chief complaints of headache on the right side for approximately 1 year was presented to our clinic. Cranial MRI revealed an intradiploic mass with homogeneous, hypointense contrast patterns on the T1W and T2W images of the right orbital roof. A skin incision was made through the right eyebrow, and the frontal sinus anterior wall was opened by craniotomy. Gross total resection was achieved by reaching the tumor present in the orbital roof. The mass was characterized as psammomatous meningioma by a pathological examination. Discussion/Conclusion: In cranial oncologic surgery, lesion localization and possible pathological diagnosis are essential for the determination of the correct surgical technique. In particular, in pediatric cases, selecting a method that will reduce the need for transfusion, shorten the surgical time, minimize the chances of facial deformity, and facilitate postoperative care will ensure compliance with the correct and appropriate treatment process.
