Abstract
ntrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, which revealed an extra-axial interhemispheric parasagittal lesion consistent with meningioma. A bilateral frontal craniotomy with complete resection was performed. In the immediate postoperative period, the patient developed a transient motor deficit and persistent bilateral temporal visual field loss. Histopathological analysis confirmed a WHO grade I meningioma.
Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of considering intracranial structural processes in adolescents with progressive neurological symptoms and reinforces that complete surgical resection remains the cornerstone of treatment and the main determinant of functional prognosis.
