AI Article Synopsis
- A 45-year-old woman experienced pain and swelling in the left frontoparietal region, with a notable lesion found upon examination.
- A CT scan indicated an expansive bone lesion with uniform density, and similar results were confirmed by an MRI that showed no contrast enhancement.
- The lesion was completely removed, followed by reconstruction using a Medpor sheet, marking the first reported case of total excision of an interosseous meningioma with this specific reconstruction method.
Article Abstract
A 45-year-old woman described the pain and the swelling at the left frontoparietal region. No significant findings were noted on physical examination, except a heterogeneous palpable lesion at the described region. Computed tomographic scan revealed an expansive bone lesion with homogeneous density, whereas magnetic resonance imaging revealed similar findings with no contrast enhancement. The lesion was totally resected, and cranioplasty with a porous polyethylene sheet (Medpor Biomaterial; Porex Surgical, Newnan, GA) was achieved. Histopathologic examination revealed an intraosseous meningioma. As far as we know, this case is the first case, in which total excision of the interosseous meningioma is followed by reconstruction with Medpor.

Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) is a congenital disorder with characteristic clinical manifestations. In the vast majority of cases, it is caused by mutations of the gene encoding the transcriptional co-activator cAMP-response element binding protein (CBP)-binding protein (CREBBP). It has been thought to be a tumor predisposition syndrome as RTS patients have an increased risk of developing tumors including meningiomas.

Primary intraosseous meningiomas are rare extradural tumors. They are typically slow-growing, painless, and asymptomatic until they cause a mass effect. We report a case of a calvarial primary intraosseous meningioma, which became symptomatic despite a very small size.

Background: Common calvarial lesions include fibrous dysplasia (FD), intraosseous meningioma, osteoma, Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), intraosseous hemangioma, dermoid and epidermoid cyst, and malignancy. Surgical removal with removal of the involved skull is the choice of treatment for these lesions. Previously, the skull defect was repaired using allograft, and alloplastic materials have been replaced with newer polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material, which is more resistant, biocompatible, and can be 3-dimension (3D)--printed.

Purpose: This article aims to analyze pediatric meningioma's imaging characteristics, especially those in unusual locations.
Methods: Pediatric patients with pathologically confirmed meningiomas at our hospital from January 2010 to January 2024 were enrolled. Meningiomas located in the cerebral convexity, parasagittal falcine region, anterior skull base, middle skull base, sphenoid ridge, cerebellopontine angle (CPA), olfactory groove, or juxtasella were considered in usual locations.
