On Ophthalmoscopy examination, she was found to have vision 6\6 on left and 6\9 with Relative Afferent Pupillary Defect (RAPD) in on right side. Bilateral extra ocular muscles were normal. MRI showed a well defined, heterogeneous extra axial mass lesion seen in right temporal region with both intracranial and intra orbital components suggestive of sphenoid wing meningioma.
