Summary:Four cases of cystic meningioma are reported, and the imaging features and diagnostic pitfalls of cystic meningiomas are reviewed. Cystic meningiomas are infrequent tumors and remain difficult to diagnose in spite of advanced imaging techniques. Our patients were between 15 and 58 years of age, and underwent CT and MR imaging. In all the four cases, the meningiomas were supratentorial and included Nauta type I, type II and type III tumors.
