Abstract
Meningiomas have a high frequency of occurrence as primary intracranial tumors. We report the case of a 16-year-old female who presented with a three-week history of persistent headache, vomiting, and photophobia. Imaging studies revealed the presence of a meningioma in the right occipital lobe of the brain. The patient underwent surgical resection, and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of an atypical WHO grade 2 meningioma. The patient experienced a significant improvement in her symptoms postoperatively and had no evidence of recurrence on follow-up imaging. This case highlights the importance of considering meningioma in the differential diagnosis of relativelyyoung patients presenting with chronic headaches, and the favorable prognosis associated with atypical WHO grade 2 meningiomas following complete surgical resection.
