Meningiomas can cause visual disturbance by interrupting the afferent or efferent pathway of vision. Optic nerve sheath and clinoid meningiomas cause optic neuropathy, cavernous sinus meningiomas cause ocular motor palsies and occipital meningiomas cause homonymous hemianopsias. Case examples , pearls for radiographic detection and issues related to management will be discussed
