Abstract:
A case of 15-year-old boy with a giant hyperostotic meningioma is presented. The patient had a huge prominence at the posterior parietal region. The CT scan showed a giant intracranial tumor in the left parieto-occipital region under the hyperostotic bone. The tumor and hyperostotic bone were totally resected with the involved portion of the sagittal sinus. Histological study revealed a meningioma. The presence of such a huge hyperostosis and some peculiarities of childhood meningiomas are discussed.
