Cystic meningiomas. Report of seven cases

G Parisi et al. J Neurosurg. 1986 Jan.

Abstract

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.
