Summary: | Cystic meningioma is a rare variety with similar histological profiles like the solid tumors. It has been documented in both supratentorial and infratentorial compartments presenting radiologically as a large cyst with mural nodule mimicking hemangioblastoma.
We managed a middle-aged woman who presented with recurrent seizures and brain MRI revealed left frontal cystic parasagittal tumor with mural nodule. She had left frontal awake craniotomy and gross total tumor excision. Histology confirmed meningothelial meningioma.
Cystic meningioma is rare but should be high in differentials of cystic intracranial tumor with dural based nodules. Awake craniotomy is possible for the excision of parasagittal tumor most especially when it is frontal in location. |
