Abstract:
We present an 8-year-old girl with meningioma-associated hyperostosis. The patient was referred to our clinic due to headache and a frontoparietal midline swelling that was more prominent on the right side of the cranium. A cranial MRI revealed a frontoparietal parasagittal meningioma, accompanied by a diffuse hyperostosis, that appeared to extend extracranially. She underwent a right frontoparietal craniotomy and the tumor, together with the affected bone, was successfully removed. The histological examination confirmed meningioma (World Health Organization 2007 Grade 1) in the intracranial and extracranial lesions. Meningioma causing hyperostosis in a child is rare. The precise mechanism of hyperostosis associated with meningioma remains unclear; however, the most widely accepted theory is that the tumor invades the bone.

Cranial Meninges
These meningeal layers cover the cranium. The dura mater is the outermost layer of cranial meninges. It is a thick and durable membrane of dense...
Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
