The simultaneous occurrence of multiple meningiomas in different neuraxial compartments is rare. A 35-year-old female patient had multiple meningiomas involving both the supratentorial compartments and in the upper dorsal spine. The patient underwent excision of 2 cranial and 2 spinal meningiomas, and has remained asymptomatic over a follow-up period of 18 months.

Research Question: to describe and investigate the case of an 11-year-old boy with the concomitant pneumocephalus, subcutaneous- and orbitopalpebral emphysema after the removal of a giant meningioma. Furthermore, our aim is to discuss the findings and the pathophysiology in relation to cases found in literature.
Material And Methods: We performed a search in PubMed, Cochrane, MEDLINE and Google Scholar by the usage of the words orbital or periorbital, combined with emphysema and neurosurgery.

Feline meningiomas typically arise on the surface of the brain but can occur in the third ventricle. Meningiomas in the fourth ventricle have not been reported in cats, to our knowledge. Here, we describe the clinical and pathologic findings of meningioma in the fourth ventricle in 2 cats.

We report a rare case of rhabdoid meningioma (RM) originating from the optic nerve in a 57-year-old female. The tumor exhibited rhabdoid or epithelioid histology and harbored BAP1 inactivation mutations. Optic nerve meningioma typically originates from the outer meningeal cells of the optic nerve within the optic canal and is usually benign, with most cases classified as meningothelial or transitional meningiomas.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a pivotal role in regulating gene expression and are critically involved in the progression of malignant brain tumors, including glioblastoma, medulloblastoma, and meningioma. These lncRNAs interact with microRNAs (miRNAs), proteins, and DNA, influencing key processes such as cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. This review highlights the multifaceted impact of lncRNA dysregulation on tumor progression and underscores their potential as therapeutic targets to enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy.
