    Author: Tian Q, Zhang F, Bi L, Wang Y.
    Journal: Childs Nerv Syst; 2014 Jan; 30(1):189-91. PubMed ID: 23974967.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Rhabdoid meningioma (RM) is rare, and it occurs mainly in children. We report the clinical and pathological features of rhabdoid meningioma in a 9-year-old child. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A 9-year-old child with RM presented to our hospital with headache that had persisted for 3 days. Magnetic resonance imaging of his brain demonstrated supratentorial lesions of the right temporal petrous bone and cisterna magna cyst. He underwent surgery on January 13, 2010. The pathological diagnosis was rhabdoid meningioma (grade III). The patient underwent radiotherapy with 30 Gy/16 fractions delivered to the recurrent tumor after surgery. The patient died in December as a result of complications of recurrent meningioma. CONCLUSION: The accumulated data, including this current case, demonstrate the difficulties in reaching the diagnosis and providing treatment for this disease as a consequence of its low incidence, aggressive nature, and poor treatment options for children with rhabdoid meningioma.
