    Abstract:
    Spinal meningiomas are much more common in women. The peak age incidence of presentation occurs in the sixth decade. Cystic meningiomas are rare and seem to have a predilection for children. We report a case of cystic spinal meningioma in a young man presenting as a ring enhancing lesion on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This case is unusual because of the atypical features of the tumour, the relatively young age and sex of the patient.
