Extracranial extension in skull-base meningioma is rare and presents a female preponderance Case Description: We presented an Indonesian female who underwent a brain MRI depicting atypical giant meningioma with extracranial extension. The surgery was conducted, and pathological examination confirmed as a typical meningioma WHO grade I. Recognizing and identifying the entity's unique imaging characteristics are paramount in successfully diagnosing and initiating the most effective treatment. Conclusion: This report is expected to help diagnose giant meningioma, which is a rare case, thus reducing the occurrence of misdiagnosis.
