  • Title: CT-findings in cystic meningiomas.
    Author: Kolluri VR, Reddy DR, Reddy PK, Naidu MR, Devi S.
    Journal: Acta Neurochir (Wien); 1987; 87(1-2):31-3. PubMed ID: 3673679.
    Abstract:
    Cystic meningiomas are rare, about 10% occurring in children. Only 61 cases have been reported in the literature. Based on 6 of our own cases and the reports in the literature typical CT-findings are described and differentiating features from other cystic mass lesions discussed. If a tumour on CT shows a cystic component, is smoothly outlined, enhances markedly and is attached to the dura, then a preoperative diagnosis of cystic meningioma should be taken into account. This holds especially true if the patient is a child.
