Large Pineal Meningioma Causing Loss of Vision in a Teenager

Abstract

Pineal tumors are rare, especially meningiomas. We report an 18-year old patient who presented with headaches, vision problems, walking difficulty, and drowsiness, who had a large pineal tumor that was resected. The tumor was a meningioma, WHO grade one. After surgery, the patients vision did not significantly improve except for some peripheral vision.
