Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Falcine meningiomas are tumors arising from the dura mater along the falx cerebri.
  • Calcification within meningiomas can present diagnostic and surgical challenges.
  • Paramedian extracerebral lesions require specific surgical approaches for optimal access and resection.

Observation:

  • A case of a totally calcified meningioma located in the mid third of the falx cerebri in an elderly male patient is described.
  • The tumor was successfully excised en masse, indicating a complete resection.
  • The surgical procedure was uneventful, with no immediate complications reported.

Findings:

  • Complete surgical excision of a totally calcified falcine meningioma is feasible.
  • Ipsilateral patient positioning offers advantages for the surgical management of paramedian extracerebral lesions.

  • This approach may facilitate improved surgical field visualization and access.

    • Implications:

    • The findings suggest that ipsilateral positioning is a beneficial strategy for specific intracranial tumor surgeries.
    • This case contributes to the understanding of surgical techniques for rare calcified meningiomas.
    • Further research could explore the broader applicability of this positioning technique in neurosurgery.
