Brain herniation through the anterior cranial floor in a long-standing frontal falcine meningioma.
Brain herniation through the incisural cisterns in raised intracranial tension is well known, but brain herniation through the cribriform plate is rare. We report a patient with an anterior falcine meningioma who suffered brain tissue herniation through the cribriform plate with extension into the paranasal air sinuses.
