Meningiomas are the most common benign brain tumors, and most of them originate from the dura mater. However, in some cases, they can originate from the choroid plexus, and they are rarely found in the posterior cranial fossa. A 63-year-old female patient presented with dizziness and swallowing difficulty and was found to have a homogeneously enhancing mass in the right posterior cranial fossa. Mass removal was performed through retrosigmoid suboccipital craniotomy, and the mass was confirmed to originate from the choroid plexus. The pathological diagnosis was meningothelial meningioma. The patient had temporary swallowing difficulty but recovered without any neurological sequelae. We report a rare case of a lower cerebellopontine angle meningioma without dural attachment originating from the choroid plexus of the foramen of Luschka.
脑膜瘤是最常见的良性脑肿瘤,大多数起源于硬脑膜。然而,在某些情况下,它们可起源于脉络丛,且很少见于后颅窝。一名63岁女性患者出现头晕和吞咽困难,检查发现右侧后颅窝有一均匀强化肿块。通过乙状窦后枕下开颅术进行了肿块切除,证实肿块起源于脉络丛。病理诊断为脑膜内皮型脑膜瘤。患者有短暂的吞咽困难,但恢复后无任何神经后遗症。我们报告一例罕见的起源于Luschka孔脉络丛的无硬脑膜附着的小脑桥脑角下部脑膜瘤病例。
