General information
- Meningiomas are a group of tumors that are believed to originate in meningothelial cells of the arachnoid membrane.
- They may be intracranial (MC), intraorbital, or intra-spinal.
Diagnosis
Imaging findings
- Wide dural based
- Hyperostosis
- Dural tail
- Calcifications
- Homogeneous enhancement
- Pneumosinus dilatans
- MRI: isointense on T1WI, hypointense on T2WI
Histopathology
- The tumour cells have features of both syncytial and fibroblastic type forming whorls which contain central laminated areas of calcification called psammoma bodies.
