Sphenoid wing meningioma presenting as cognitive impairment

额叶脑膜瘤可仅表现出类似痴呆的心理症状。我们报告一例42岁的男性。患者最初被认为患有痴呆,最终确诊为蝶骨嵴脑膜瘤所致的痴呆。蝶骨嵴脑膜瘤的症状隐匿,往往会延误诊断,会被误认为是痴呆的表现。由于认知障碍比较复杂而且容易被忽视,所以准确评估患有脑部巨大肿瘤患者的神经心理功能是非常重要的。

Summary： Frontal meningioma may present solely withpsychological symptoms that resemble dementia. We present the case of a 42-year-old man who initially was thought to have dementia, but he was eventually diagnosed with dementia caused by a sphenoid wing meningioma. Diagnosis of this illness is often delayed due to the insidious nature of the symptoms, which may be mistaken as symptoms of dementia. As cognitive impairment is complex and easily overlooked, it is important to accurately assess neuropsychological function in patients with large brain tumors.
