Chordoid Meningioma - A Rare variant of Meningioma.
Abstract
Meningioma is the most common extraaxial
neoplasm of adults. Among its histological
variant, Chordoid meningioma is
uncommon. We report a 19years young
girl who presented with simple partial seizure,
headache for 3 months. The neurological
examination was normal. The imaging
of the patient showed a lobulated
lesion with solid and cystic component
located in the left occipital region. We
proceeded with left occipital craniotomy
and total excision of the lesion. The
histopathological report was chordoid
meningioma. The post-operative period
was uneventful.
