Abstract
Sphenoid wing meningiomas are very invasive tumours. The only permanent treatment is total eradication. But quality of life should also be taken into account. Several surgical approaches have been proposed with more and more aggressivity. We have raised a list of 9 questions which is not exhaustive. We recommend solving them before surgery and to be sure to have an answer before a surgical decision is made. This would be of great benefit for more efficacious results with less sequelae.Keywords
