Abstract
Meningiomas are tumours of the arachnoid cap cells. Usually they are referred to according to their location. They are primarily treated with surgery. They tend to recur following surgery. Suprasellar meningiomas frequently present with visual disturbances. Our patient is a case of recurrent suprasellar meningioma. The visual acuity in one eye was No Perception of Light(NPL). From NPL, the visual acuity improved to 6/12 in six months after High Precision Irradiation (HPI). This case emphasizes the importance and the need for aggressive management. It also shows the use of radiotherapy techniques used in synergy to produce the necessary results.Entities:
