Several meningioma cases arising through Meckel's cave (MC) at the middle and posterior fossa have been reported. However, few relevant meningiomas have been observed with a dumbbell shape.
We report a rare case of a 36-year-old woman with a meningioma of MC with a typical dumbbell-shaped, schwannoma-like presentation on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), resulting in a misleading differential diagnosis.
In this case report, we discuss the characteristics of meningioma of MC observed on MRI and our surgical approach to this condition.
This tumor was able to mimic a trigeminal schwannoma both clinically and radiographically. This case report has been reported in line with the SCARE 2020 criteria [1].
已有报道称,中后颅窝有几例脑膜瘤起源于 Meckel 腔(MC)。然而,很少观察到呈哑铃状的相关脑膜瘤。
我们报告了一例罕见病例,一名 36 岁女性患有 MC 脑膜瘤,在磁共振成像(MRI)上呈现典型的哑铃状、神经鞘瘤样表现,导致鉴别诊断出现误导。
在本病例报告中,我们讨论了 MRI 上观察到的 MC 脑膜瘤的特征以及我们针对这种情况的手术方法。
该肿瘤在临床和影像学上均能模拟三叉神经鞘瘤。本病例报告已按照 SCARE 2020 标准[1]进行报告。
