Meningiomas are slow-growing benign tumors that arise at any location where arachnoid cells reside. Although meningiomas account for a sizable proportion of all primary intracranial neoplasms (14.3-19%), only 1.8 to 3.2% arise at the foramen magnum. Their indolent development at the craniocervical junction makes clinical diagnosis complex and often leads to a long interval between onset of symptoms and diagnosis.
We report a case of a 79-year-old male patient, presented with ataxia and sense of threatening fainting during verticalization. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed the presence of meningioma in the right side of craniospinal junction.
脑膜瘤是生长缓慢的良性肿瘤，可发生于蛛网膜细胞存在的任何部位。尽管脑膜瘤在所有原发性颅内肿瘤中占相当大的比例（14.3 - 19%），但仅1.8%至3.2%发生于枕骨大孔。它们在颅颈交界处的缓慢发展使得临床诊断复杂，常常导致症状出现与诊断之间的间隔时间很长。
我们报告一例79岁男性患者，表现为垂直位时共济失调和濒死感晕厥。磁共振成像显示颅颈交界处右侧存在脑膜瘤。
