Myriad Presentations of Intracranial Meningiomas: Pictoral Essay

Abstract

Meningiomas are the most common non-glial tumor of the central nervous system (CNS). Seen in middle age with a female preponderance, most of the tumors are solitary and supratentorial with benign histology (WHO grade I). Atypical and anaplastic (malignant) meningiomas (WHO grade II and III), comprise 15–20% of all intracranial meningiomas [1-5]. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the imaging modality of choice.
