Abstract
Meningioma rarely gives an extra cranial extension. The authors report a case of meningioma of the jugular foramen reaching the left side of the neck. Epidemiological and clinical aspects of meningiomas of the neck are presented. The pathogenesis of this ectopic meningioma is discussed. We stress the contribution of imaging to evoke the diagnosis, determine the exact extent of the tumor, guide biopsies and allow post-therapeutic surveillance. Histological diagnosis of meningiomas of the neck is difficult since it can mimic more commonly encountered neck tumours. Difficulties of surgical techniques used to manage the tumor are also reported.
