Abstract
A 29-year-old male presented with loss of consciousness and generalized seizure, followed by right hemiparesis and speech disturbance. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a solid, enhanced tumor with a cyst in the left frontal area with surrounding edema and mild mass effect. The cyst wall was also enhanced. The preoperative diagnosis was cystic falx meningioma. The tumor was totally resected, but most of the cyst wall adhered tightly to the surrounding brain and could not be removed. Histological examination revealed atypical meningioma and tumor cells in the cyst wall. The patient received local radiotherapy to the residual cyst wall with a total dose of 50 Gy.
