Clear cell meningioma is an uncommon variant of meningioma associated with high rates of local recurrence and metastasis. However, monitoring for local recurrence may be complicated by metal-related artefacts generated by spinal instrumentation. We present a patient with recurrent lumbar atypical clear cell meningioma, which had been resected multiple times throughout her adolescence. Due to extensive bone and ligament resection, posterior stabilization of the lumbar spine with pedicle screws was required. To ensure clear postoperative visualization of the spinal cord for local recurrence, a carbon fibre/polyetheretherketone (CF/PEEK) pedicle screw and rod construct was used. CF/PEEK has non-inferior biomechanical and biocompatible properties to titanium, with a clear advantage of radiolucency to assist in detecting the local recurrence early and facilitating accurate radiotherapy planning.
