Intrameatal meningiomas are rare tumors. While imaging may not always distinguish them from vestibular schwannomas, CT scans can reveal bone changes aiding diagnosis and guiding surgical approach.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Acoustic intrameatal meningiomas are rare tumors.
  • This study analyzes reported cases to define their characteristics.

Observation:

  • Nine cases (8 literature, 1 new) were analyzed.
  • Patients were typically aged 50-60, with no sex prevalence.
  • Hearing loss was the primary symptom, often preceding diagnosis by months or years.

Findings:

  • Radiological features often overlap with vestibular schwannomas.
  • CT scans with bone algorithms can show indirect signs for differential diagnosis.
  • Surgical approaches included middle fossa, translabyrinthine, and retromastoid routes.

Implications:

  • Accurate differential diagnosis is crucial due to recurrence and bone invasion potential.
  • Radiological assessment of peritumoral bone is vital.
  • Extensive surgical approaches may be necessary for tumors invading temporal bone.
