Abstract:
A case of posterior fossa meningioma with parapharyngeal extension is described. The tumour lacked contrast enhancement at both CT and MRI, and showed no vascularity at angiography. These negative features restricted us to a differential diagnosis alone. The postulated mechanisms for an extracranial position of a meningioma, mainly from Hoye et al, are re-presented.
