Page : 068-072
The authors describe a woman with visual loss and epilepsy that were caused by removal of a meningioma on the right sphenoidal ridge in an operation 5 years prior to presentation. The patient started to improve neurologically after omental transplantation to the injured optic chiasma and right temporal lobe. The epileptic seizures virtual1y disappeared after this surgery, and vision gradually improved over 3 months. These results indicate that placing omentum directly injured nervous tissue can lead to neurological improvement.
