Abstract
The term parasagittal meningioma applies to those tumors that are associated with the superior sagittal sinus (SSS), originating from the dura mater in close relation to the parasagittal wall or angle, with no intervening brain tissue, possibly extending to the dura of the convexity and/or falx cerebri.(Cushing et al., Meningiomas: their classification, regional behaviour, life history, and surgeical and results. Hafner, 1938) They make up about 20-30% of all meningiomas. There is a vast literature correlating the Simpson grade of resection with later recurrence. Frequent involvement of the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) by these tumors means that the optimal treatment recommended in the literature-complete resection, including of the dural base-is one of the most challenging.
