Early accurate diagnosis of these tumors is possible through the use of computed tomography which is recommended for all patients with unexplained impairment of vision. In this article 105 cases of meningiomas of the planum sphenoidale and tuberculum sellae are reviewed. In only five cases was the diagnosis made within three months of the onset of the symptoms.
