We report a rare case of multiple meningiomas in a 74 year old female who was brought to the hospital with spastic paraparesis and MRI of spine and brain revealed multiple enhancing meningiomas in brain and spines. The spinal intradural extramedullary (IDEM) meningioma at C7-D1 level was excised which had caused paraparesis and postoperatively patient became symptom free. We will discuss about the incidence, symptomatology, investigations and management of multiple meningiomas in different neuroaxial compartments at the same period of time and will review the literature.

Abstract Multiple meningioma is a condition in which more than one intracranial lesion is seen in different location and these lesions may occur with or without signs of neurofibromatosis. Incidence of multiple meningioma range from 1 to 10% in different series. We report a case of multiple meningioma in a 33 years old female who had 14 intracranial lesions both supratentorially and infratentorially, and underwent surgery for large right lateral intraventricular meningioma. She had two meningiomas located in posterior fossa associated with supratentorial meningioma, which has been rarely reported.

Background: Noncommunicating extradural spinal arachnoid cysts are extremely rare. They are believed to arise from congenital defects in the dura mater and become enlarged as a consequence of increased cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) pressure within the subarachnoid space. Most retain a communicating pedicle through which the extradural cyst maintains connection with the subarachnoid space, and only rarely does this communication become sealed. The optimal treatment consists of complete surgical removal of the cyst with ligation of the communicating pedicle. Case Description: A 29-year-old male presented with a progressive spastic paraparesis of 6 months’ duration. The MRI showed a circumscribed intradural extramedullary cystic lesion located from D11-L2. Notably, peroperatively, the cyst appeared to be entirely extradural, without a communicating intradural pedicle. Further, no CSF leak was observed even after Valsalva maneuvers. Following surgical extirpation of the cyst, the patient sustained an uneventful recovery within 1 postoperative month. Conclusion: Noncommunicating extradural arachnoid cysts are extremely rare causes of spinal cord compression and should be fully excised.

The intraspinal enterogenous cyst, also called an neurenteric cyst, is a rare congenital disease. It was reported to be local to the C1 to L2 spinal segments, with the majority located in the cervicothoracic region. Most patients present with symptoms of progressive focal pain, myelopathic signs or radicular symptoms. We report a rare case of thoracic spinal intradural extramedullary enterogenous cyst with rapidly progressive weakness of both lower extremities. Additionally, we analysed the literature concerning the clinical features, diagnosis and prognosis of this disease.

Background: Meningioma is one of the most common neoplasms of the central nervous system. Multiple meningiomas without neurofibromatosis are not a usual occurrence. Intraventricular meningioma with spinal meningioma is rare and not been reported in the literature. Case Description: We report a case of a 63-year-old male with the left trigonal and spinal meningioma. Both the meningiomas were resected in different settings. The histological examination of tumors revealed to be of varied histology, that is, meningothelial and atypical meningioma, respectively. Conclusion: Although various cases with multiple cranial and spinal meningiomas are described, this is the first case of an intraventricular and spinal meningioma. With varied histology, the case also reaffirms the theory of polyclonal origin of multiple meningiomas.
