Abstract
Out of all the brain tumours, meningiomas account for 15% of the total share and Sphenoid ridge is the third commonest site, though in children, only 4.2-15% of intracranial meningiomas involve the sphenoid wing. A case of 11 years old male with h/o unilateral proptosis finally fell into diagnosis of sphenoid wing meningiomas. Child underwent neurosurgery, post op images revealed infiltrative tumour. Aggressive meningiomas should be treated with combined approach including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
