title: Planum sphenoidale meningioma. Attachment and blood supply.
abstract: By reviewing clinical and radiological data and surgical findings of 35 so-called "olfactory groove meningioma" cases, the authors conclude that this is not a homogenous group. According to the attachment and blood supply they differentiate two varieties, the planum sphenoidale meningioma (PM) and the olfactory meningioma (OM). It seems possible to distinguish both groups clinically and with regard to the localization of hyperostosis and pneumencephalographic and angiographic findings.
