    Abstract:
    We report a case of foramen magnum meningioma manifesting as hypoglossal nerve palsy. A 72-year-old woman presented with progressive hypoglossal nerve palsy and lingual atrophy on the left side. Gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging revealed a heterogeneously enhanced mass lesion with dural tail sign partially extending into the hypoglossal canal. The transcondylar approach was performed to expose the hypoglossal canal and resect the tumor completely. Histological examination revealed a transitional meningioma. The postoperative course was uneventful. Hypoglossal nerve palsy improved gradually after the operation.
