“…[ 1 , 4 , 8 ] Preoperative diagnosis is usually challenging and the final diagnosis achieved after histology of the tumor specimen. [ 5 , 13 , 14 ] Surgery is the gold standard for symptomatic meningiomas including cystic meningioma, usually under general anesthesia; however, awake craniotomy is gaining more attention in modern neurosurgical practice. [ 9 ] The need for adjuvant management depends on the extent surgical excision and tumor biology.…”

Background: 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. Case Description: 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. Conclusion: 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.

Background: Cystic meningioma is a rare variety of meningioma. It represents 4% to 7% of all meningiomas. The authors report a case of intracranial cystic meningioma with a review of literature. Case Report: A 59-year-old female presented with a history of headache followed by left side hemiplegia. CT scan and MRI of the brain showed a right parietal tumor with double solid and cystic components thought to be pilocytic astrocytoma or metastasis preoperatively. At surgery, the extraaxial solid and cystic lesion had a well defined capsule that could be easily separated from the perilesional cortical surface. The tumor was totally removed and the cyst was punctioned. The histological study showed a cystic meningioma WHO Grade I. A follow-up at 10 months after surgery, the patient was going well and recovered from the hemiplegiaa. Conclusion: Cystic meningioma is an uncommon tumor that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of brain tumors with a cystic component. The preoperative diagnosis and management could be in some cases challenging.

“…They are easily confused with other tumors with cyst formation and have been seldom reported in the literature [1][2][3]. Spinal meningiomas are common extra-axial solid lesions with distinguishing features, and most of them have a thoracic localization [1].…”

KeywordsSpinal, Cystic meningioma, MRI IMAGE ARTICLE Check for updatesThe lesion was isointense on T1-and T2-weighted images and it was shown strongly enhancing except a small nodular cystic component in superior part of the lesion (Figure 2). The patient was operated and histopathological studies confirmed the mass to be a meningioma.A 41-year-old woman was admitted to our department presented with a 1-year history of persistent weakness and progressive numbness in the left lower limb. MRI revealed that there was a well-circumscribed intraspinal extradural lesion at L1 and L2 vertebral levels (Figure 1).
