Meningioma with Intra- and Peritumoral Abscess

Intraand parasellar tumors are the most common intracranial neoplasms to harbor abscess because of direct extension of microbial flora from paranasal sinuses.1,2 Glioblastoma, astrocytoma (high and low grade), ependymoma, and metastatic lesions have also been reported to harbor abscesses within them. Only nine cases of intracranial meningioma associated with brain abscess have been reported in literature so far, with intraand peritumoral location of abscess being rare.3–5 We report yet another case; however, a source of infection could not be identified in our patient.
