Malignant meningioma is rare in infants, but a 6-month-old patient had an excellent outcome after surgery. This case highlights the importance of understanding rare pediatric brain tumors for effective treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric neuro-oncology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Pathology of central nervous system tumors

Background:

  • Meningiomas are tumors arising from the meninges, the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
  • Meningiomas are rare in children, and exceptionally rare in infants under one year of age.

Observation:

  • A 6-month-old infant presented with a meningioma exhibiting malignant histologic features.
  • The patient underwent surgical resection and experienced an excellent postoperative course.

Findings:

  • The study details the pathological features of the infant's meningioma and its relation to prognosis.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of this rare pediatric meningioma are presented.

Implications:
