Abstract

Abstract Cystic meningioma is a relatively rare condition, radiological appearance of the cystic-solid components of the mass may create a diagnostic dilemma. The presence of a cyst is not a common imaging feature and this makes it difficult to differentiate it from hemangioblastoma, craniopharyngioma, metastasis and gliomas. Cystic meningiomas are present more commonly in children. We present a 60 year old male who presented with seizures and frontal lobe signs. The lesion was suspected as glioma however, postoperative histopathological examination demonstrated as meningioma. Patient showed remarkable recovery after surgery. Complete cyst resection should be considered if it is technically feasible and safe.
