    Author: Baxter DS, Smith P, Stewart K, Murphy M.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2009 Nov; 16(11):1502-4. PubMed ID: 19632846.
    Abstract:
    Clear cell meningioma is a rare histological phenotype of meningioma. It has an atypical grade II World Health Organization classification due to a high recurrence rate. This report documents the rapid deterioration of visual field and acuity in a pregnant 32-year-old woman and the successful post-operative resolution of symptoms. We review the literature about this rare disease and identify clinical and pathological features unique to this patient.
