Meningioma has many subtypes with clear cell meningioma being more aggressive than other variants of meningioma and one of the rarest. We report a case of spinal clear cell meningioma that occurred in a 25-year-old lady who presented with the inability to be in the supine position. A magnetic resonance image showed an intradural mass extending from L1 to L4. Near complete excision was done. The patient had motor weakness postoperatively which improved gradually. A histopathological study showed a clear cell meningioma. In a differential diagnosis of any space-occupying lesion of the spine, clear cell meningioma should be considered though it is a rare form of meningioma due to its potential to recure. An accurate follow-up is warranted.
脑膜瘤有多种亚型，其中透明细胞型脑膜瘤比其他类型的脑膜瘤侵袭性更强，且是最罕见的类型之一。我们报告一例发生在一名25岁女性的脊髓透明细胞型脑膜瘤病例，该患者表现为无法仰卧。磁共振成像显示一个硬膜内肿物，从L1延伸至L4。实施了近全切术。患者术后出现运动无力，随后逐渐改善。组织病理学研究显示为透明细胞型脑膜瘤。在脊柱任何占位性病变的鉴别诊断中，尽管透明细胞型脑膜瘤是一种罕见的脑膜瘤类型，但因其有复发的可能，仍应予以考虑。需要进行准确的随访。
