Abstract
Orbital meningioma is a rare benign tumor, it develops from the dura mater and can invade the opposite bone and invade the orbital contents through the superior orbital fissure or optic canal, or more frequently after bone invasion. It frequently occurs in the spheno-orbital region, rarely in the frontal location, as in our case. This is a 58-year-old woman with no pathological antecedents. She consulted with our ophthalmology service with progressively installing low visual acuity with binocular diplopia. Examination of the right eye reveals exophthalmos axial, painless, non-reducible and non-pulsatile, as well as limitation of ocular motility in lateral gaze. Fundus examination showed grade 1 papilledema. Orbitocerebral scanner was favorable for frontal meningioma with grade 1 exophthalmos. Pariente was referred to neurosurgery for possible surgical excision.
