Summary

Pineal region meningiomas without dural attachment are rare. Vertebral angiography, MRI, and clinical data aid diagnosis, with the infratentorial supracerebellar approach being optimal for surgical resection.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neuroradiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Meningiomas are typically attached to the dura mater.
  • Pineal region meningiomas are uncommon, and those lacking dural attachment are exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • This study presents a rare case of a pineal region meningioma without dural attachment.
  • A literature review of 12 similar cases was conducted.

Findings:

  • Preoperative diagnosis of these rare tumors is challenging.
  • Correlation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with vertebral angiography and clinical presentation can suggest the diagnosis.
  • The infratentorial supracerebellar surgical approach is deemed suitable for managing these tumors.

Implications:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Improved diagnostic strategies for rare meningiomas are needed.
  • The infratentorial supracerebellar approach offers a viable surgical option for these challenging cases.
  • Further research into the etiology and specific characteristics of non-dural-based meningiomas is warranted.
