UNASSIGNED: @entity20956 .5% of all @entity1653 . While they typically arise in the sphenoid wing, convexity MEP are comparatively rare and are often confused with @entity693 , @entity1181 , @entity6551 , or @entity82 , with very little information published in the literature. We conducted a literature review on PubMed of English-only articles using a keyword search. All studies that described reports of convexity MEP were reviewed for @entity1 demographics, presenting symptoms, radiological reports, surgical management, recurrence rates, histopathological presentation, post-operative complications, and follow-up. This resulted in 12 papers comprising 22 cases of convexity MEP. Seventeen (77%) of the 22 @entity1 were female with an average age of 53.2years. Intitial presenting symptoms included @entity10 in 12/20 (60%), @entity1269 in 5/20 (25%), and visual symptoms in 1/20 (5%). Of the 14 @entity1 who underwent surgical resection, only four were reported as gross total resection. Twelve reports had associated pathology reports, with all 12 @entity5 graded as World Health Organization Grade I. Convexity MEP, while rare, present a challenge with regard to correct diagnosis and subsequent resection. The easier accessibility of these @entity1653 predicts higher surgical success rates and incidence of total resection, though care must be taken to ensure @entity5 , dural attachments, and any overlying @entity17505 bone. Though @entity4916 is frequently observed with this variant of @entity1653 , it is neither exclusive nor wholly indicative of MEP. Due to its rarity in both clinical practice and the literature, further studies are warranted to identify modern imaging means to correctly diagnose this condition.
