Intracranial cystic meningiomas: A series of six patients

✓ Meningiomas have been reported to have associated areas of surrounding low density on computerized tomography (CT). These low-density areas may represent edema, widened subarachnoid spaces, loculated cerebrospinal fluid, demyelination, or adjacent tumor. Two cases are presented in which this adjacent area of low density represented a tumor cyst. Recognition is important as the CT appearance of these lesions may simulate a metastatic tumor.

Cystic Meningiomas

✓ A group of eight cystic meningiomas is considered, with particular reference to preoperative radiological evaluation. Computerized tomography (CT) scanning alone is inadequate for diagnosis, and the authors offer an assessment of the current methods for preoperative identification of cystic supratentorial tumors, while reviewing the multiple etiologies suggested for the CT appearance. No single process explains all the aspects of peri- or intratumoral cyst formation in meningiomas.

Cystic Meningiomas

✓ Seven patients with cystic meningioma are reported. The computerized tomography appearance of these meningiomas may mimic that of a glial or metastatic tumor with cystic or necrotic changes, and lead to an incorrect presumptive diagnosis. Radiological evaluation and recognition are important for the surgical removal of these potentially curable neoplasms.
