It exhibits intraosseous tumor growth with hyperostosis and a widespread soft-tissue growth at the dura. The intra-orbital invasion results in painless proptosis and slowly progressing visual impairment. (2) Methods: We present a case of a 46-year-old woman with SOM and compressive optic nerve neuropathy related to it. Her corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) was decreased to 20\/100, she had extensive visual field (VF) scotoma, dyschromatopsia, impaired pattern-reversal visual-evoked potential (PVEP), and decreased thicknesses of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell complex (GCC), measured with the swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), and a pale optic nerve disc in her left eye. Brain CT and MRI showed a lesion at the base of the anterior cranial fossa, involving the sphenoid wing and orbit. Pterional craniotomy and a partial removal of the tumor at the base of the skull and in the left orbit with the resection of the lesional dura mater and bony defect reconstruction were performed. (3) Results: The histological examination revealed meningothelial meningioma (WHO G1). Decreased CDVA and VF defects completely recovered, and the color vision score and PVEP improved following the surgery, but RNFL and GCC remained impaired. No tumor recurrence was observed at a follow-up of 78 months. (4) Conclusions: Optic nerve dysfunction has the capacity to improve once the compression has been relieved despite the presence of the structural features of optic nerve atrophy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12010074","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,22]],"date-time":"2022-12-22T02:59:06Z","timestamp":1671677946000},"page":"74","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Spheno-Orbital Meningioma and Vision Impairment\u2014Case Report and Review of the Literature"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6993-7518","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joanna","family":"Wierzbowska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Military Institute of Medicine\u2014National Research Institute, 04-141 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5728-1630","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arkadiusz","family":"Zegad\u0142o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Military Institute of Medicine\u2014National Research Institute, 04-141 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Micha\u0142","family":"Patyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Military Institute of Medicine\u2014National Research Institute, 04-141 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marek","family":"R\u0119kas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Military Institute of Medicine\u2014National Research Institute, 04-141 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"905","DOI":"10.3171\/JNS-07\/11\/0905","article-title":"Management of bone-invasive, hyperostotic sphenoid wing meningiomas","volume":"107","author":"Bikmaz","year":"2007","journal-title":"J.
