Use of an acrylic jig to aid orbital reconstruction after resection of a sphenoid intraosseous meningioma: a technical note

A 48-year-old woman presented to neurosurgery with proptosis of the left globe and worsening pain and swelling in the left temporal region. Her visual acuity was unaffected. A computed tomogram (CT) of her head showed a large expansile lesion that involved the left frontal, parietal, temporal, and sphenoid bones (Fig. 1 and Supplemental Fig. S1). It impinged on the orbit, causing proptosis and crowding of the orbital contents. A diagnosis of intraosseous meningioma was suspected.
