متن کاملAngiomatous Meningioma: CT and MR Imaging Features
giomas on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are easily identified and hence, easy to diagnose (1). However, certain meningioma subtypes have unusual imaging findings, making it difficult to diagnose them as well as determining the appropriate treatment protocol. This is particularly true for rare meningioma subtypes, which include the angiomatous meningioma, which sh...
متن کاملExtra-intradural Spinal Meningioma: A Case Report
Extradural spinal meningiomas are uncommon, and their pathophysiology is not entirely understood. Here, we present the case of a 49-year-old woman with low back and left leg pain of 5 years duration. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass, 1.8-cm in size, with rim enhancement in the spinal canal at the T12 level and extending into the left T12-L1 foramen. In the surgical field, the mass pre...
