Sphenoid wing meningioma in a 78 year old urban woman: a late presentation and need for adequate diagnostic facilities in our hospitals

Meningiomas of the Sphenoidal wing occur most commonly in the 5th decade in males and in the 6th decade in females. The diagnosis is confirmed by neuro-imaging using Computerized Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging with contrast, facilities that are uncommonly found in our hospitals. We herein present a case of Sphenoid Wing Meningioma diagnosed in a 78year old urban dwelling woman 5 years after initial presentation, highlighting the late presentation and the need for availability of adequate diagnostic facilities in our hospitals.
