Lateral sphenoid wing meningioma or pterional meningioma is a type of intracranial meningioma that arises from the pterion and typically grows along the Sylvian fissure.

Behavior and treatment are usually similar to convexity meningioma.

Common symptoms associated with lateral sphenoid wing meningiomas may include:

Headaches: Often severe and persistent.

Vision Problems: Such as blurred vision, double vision (diplopia), or loss of peripheral vision.

Seizures: Especially if the tumor irritates the brain tissue.

Personality or Behavioral Changes: In some cases, these tumors can affect personality, mood, or behavior.

Weakness or Numbness: Depending on the location and size of the tumor, it can cause weakness or numbness on one side of the body.

Speech or Language Difficulties: If the tumor presses on areas of the brain responsible for language functions.
