Case Discussion
Meningioma is the most common extra-axial neoplasm of adults and accounts for 15% of all intracranial neoplasms. It is second to gliomas in overall prevalence. Meningiomas are most frequently seen in convexity and parasagittal locations. In children, the most common site is the ventricles.
