Abstract
Introduction: Because meningiomas often involve the adjacent calvarium, partial or complete removal of infiltrated bone is required to achieve a gross total, Simpson grade 1 resection.Reconstruction of the resulting bone defect is typically achieved with a non-native implant, which can often result in poor cosmesis, foreign body reaction, or infection.Extracorporeal irradiation and reimplantation of tumorous bone has been used for limb-sparing surgery with excellent results, but this treatment option is not routinely considered in meningioma surgery.We present a case of anterior fossa meningioma with tumorous overlying calvarium that was successfully managed with intraoperative extracorporeal irradiation and reimplantation.
