At just 45, Mr. Dharamvir began experiencingpersistent headaches and troubling vision disturbances. Initially dismissed asroutine stress symptoms, these issues soon escalated, affecting his daily lifeand work. A detailed neurological evaluation and advanced imaging at RamaHospital, Hapur, revealed a rare and challenging diagnosis: medialsphenoid wing meningioma - a tumour located deep at the base of the skull,pressing on vital structures like the optic nerve and carotid artery.

The Challenge

This type of tumour is notoriously difficult to remove dueto its close proximity to essential nerves and blood vessels. Left untreated,it can lead to severe cognitive changes, permanent vision loss, or evenlife-threatening complications.

The Surgical Journey

Under the expert hands of Dr. Ajay, a leadingneurosurgeon at Rama Hospital, Mr. Dharamvir underwent a pterionalcraniotomy - a complex skull base procedure performed with microscopicprecision. The goal was to achieve near-total to total tumour resectionwhile preserving neurological functions. Thanks to the team’s surgicalexpertise and state-of-the-art equipment, the procedure was a success.

The Outcome

Post-surgery, Mr. Dharamvir’s headaches vanished, hisvision was restored, and no new neurological deficits wereobserved. He has now returned to work and is living a healthy, active life.With a tumour of this nature, such a positive outcome reflects not only skillbut the power of early diagnosis and multi-disciplinary care.

Studies show that patients with complete removal of sphenoidwing meningiomas enjoy an ~80% recurrence-free survival at 5 years—apromising statistic for many.

Why This Matters

Mr. Dharamvir’s story is more than just a medical milestone;it’s a message of hope. With timely intervention and expert care, eventhe most complex brain tumours can be conquered.
