Background:
Meningioma is one of the most common neoplasms of the central nervous system. Multiple meningiomas without neurofibromatosis are not a usual occurrence. Intraventricular meningioma with spinal meningioma is rare and not been reported in the literature.
Case Description:
We report a case of a 63-year-old male with the left trigonal and spinal meningioma. Both the meningiomas were resected in different settings. The histological examination of tumors revealed to be of varied histology, that is, meningothelial and atypical meningioma, respectively.
Conclusion:
Although various cases with multiple cranial and spinal meningiomas are described, this is the first case of an intraventricular and spinal meningioma. With varied histology, the case also reaffirms the theory of polyclonal origin of multiple meningiomas.
