Cystic Meningioma in an Adult: Unusual Radiologic Appearance of a Common Intracranial Tumor
Austin Journal of Radiology
Abstract
Meningiomas are common intracranial brain tumors. However, cystic meningiomas are very rare, accounting for 2%-4% of intracranial meningiomas. In this article, we report a 52 years old female patient with a parasagittal right frontal cystic meningioma type V recognized by its neuroimaging features on CT scan and MRI. Imaging modalities can play a crucial role in the appreciation of subtypes of cystic meningiomas, and the radiological analysis for appropriate surgical treatment.
