[Meningiomas of the nose and paranasal sinuses].
In material of ENT Department, Medical University of Gdańsk we have three cases of extracranial meningioma localized in the nose and sinuses. Two of them are presented in this paper. One case was 29 year woman with meningioma of the nose and ethmoid and maxillary sinuses; it was residual tumor after removal of intracranial meningioma 3 years earlier. Second case was 14 year boy with meningioma of the nose, ethmoid and maxillary sinuses and of the orbit. In both patients tumor was removed by rhinosurgical access (lateral rhinotomy). Late results of the operation were very good. Basing on clinical and radiological pictures of both cases, pathological characteristics of naso-sinusal meningioma was made.
