[Primitive extracranial meningioma: a case report of intratemporal and naso-sinusal localization].
The authors report on the rare extracranial locations regarding a case of infratemporal fossa and paranasal sinus meningioma. These tumours formulate pathogenic questions, the hypothesis of which are exposed. Diagnosis gets difficult because of the atypical location of these meningiomas. Computerized tomography scan is the examination of choice for assessing the extension of these lesions. The only treatment is surgical.
