Abstract
A 59-year-old woman was admitted with to our hospital with a sudden severe headache that had lasted for 5 days. Neck stiffness was present, but no other neurological deficits were present. Subarachnoid hemorrhage and intra-tumor hemorrhage were not noted on a head computed tomography (HCT). The patient's cerebrospinal fluid was xanthochromic. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a gadolinium-enhanced tumor with hemorrhagic changes around the foramen magnum. After conservative therapy, MRI showed a decrease in tumor size and a dural tail sign. This tumor was diagnosed as a hemorrhagic meningioma, and was resected with a posterior suboccipital approach. Histology confirmed that this tumor was a benign transitional meningioma with hemorrhagic change. This is a rare case involving benign meningioma onset by hemorrhagic change. Postoperative tumor recurrence was not present.
