Abstract
Foramen magnum meningiomas are rare intracranial tumors that commonly present with lower cranial nerve deficits and motor/ sensory disturbances of the extremities. Their signs and symptoms can be attributed to their close relation to the brainstem, particularly at the non-distendable area of the foramen magnum (the foramen at the skull base that connects brain and spinal cord). Diagnosis is usually delayed due to the rarity of the disease and its often not so pronounced symptoms. We present a case of a foramen magnum meningioma with an insidious onset that was treated in our department.
