KİSTİK MENENJİOMLAR OLGU SERİSİ

Giriş: Menenjiomlar en sık izlenen intrakranial ekstraaksiyel tümöral oluşumlardır. Kistik menenjiomlar nadir görülen tümörler olup, tüm menenjiomların %1.6 ile %10’ unu oluşturur. Görüntülemelerle kistik komponenti bulunan menenjiomların ekstraaksiyel yerleşimli benzer lezyonlarla ayırıcı tanısının yapılması zorluk arz edebilir. Olgu: Burada içerisinde kistik komponent de bulunan menenjiom ile uyumlu kitle tanısı ile operasyon öyküsü bulunan olguları sunmak istedik. Sonuç: Kistik menenjiom nadir görülür. Operasyon öncesi görüntülemelerin dikkatli incelenmesi menenjiomların kistle birlikteliğini anlamak açısından önemlidir.

CASE SERIES OF CYSTIC MENINGIOMA

Introduction: Meningiomas are the most common intracranial extraaxial tumoral formations. Cystic meningiomas are rare tumors and constitute 1.6% to 10% of all meningiomas. It may be difficult in imagings to distinguish between cystic meningiomas with similar lesions with extraaxial placement. Case: We wanted to present the cases operated due to meningioma mass with a cystic component. Conclusion: Cystic meningioma is rare. Careful examination of preoperative imagings are important to understand the association of meningiomas with cysts.
