“…It was a meningothelial type, WHO grade I, which is reportedly the most common type. 4 The patient in our study is typical epidemiologically. Since, meningiomas are reported to be more common in females with a mean age in the fourth decade.…”

“… 1 ,4, 5 There are many theories in the literature to explain isolated extracranial MEM. For instance, maturation of pluripotent cells, or sequestrated arachnoid cells resting along bony fusion lines, 4 , 6 or intracranial hypertension or trauma misplacing arachnoid cells into the ME. 2 …”

A Case Report of a CPA Meningioma Presenting as Middle Ear Mass With Middle Ear Effusion

Middle ear (ME) benign tumors are rare, and among them is meningioma. An ME meningioma might be isolated or merely a lateral extension of a CPA meningioma. We report a case with presentation of ME effusion followed by the appearance of an aural polyp after repeated myringotomies. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a benign-looking ME and mastoid mass. After debulking and biopsy, it turned out to be a meningioma. However, when MRI was performed, a large CPA meningioma was detected. ME masses are rare; however, they might be encountered, and CT must be performed followed by biopsy or total removal. In case of detection of a tumor with probable intracranial connection as meningioma, an MRI should be performed to exclude intracranial extension.

“…[3] Younger patients with meningioma have a poorer outcome and higher local recurrence. [4] Based on the previous reported series, surgery of a meningioma with EAC extension at presentation is the preferred treatment and is possible in most situations. [1] This rationale seems to hold true for recurrences too as was the case in our patient, even though the patient had received prior radiotherapy.…”

“…Daneshi et al 13 document a primary meningioma of the ethmoid sinus. Ex-tracranial meningiomas may also occur in the ear, either as extension into the middle or external ear of an intrapetrous meningioma [14][15][16] or de novo in the external meatus without obvious intracranial connection. 15,17 Extracranial meningiomas may also occur in the neck, as with the case we describe.…”

A case of a patient with a posterior fossa meningioma extending through the hypoglossal canal to the cervical region as described in this article has not been previously described in the literature. Investigations and surgical management are outlined and pathological classifications are discussed. A literature review including recent reports of extracranial meningiomas is presented. Extracranial meningiomas are exceedingly rare and a high index of suspicion is necessary to make the diagnosis.KEYWORDS: Extracranial meningioma, posterior fossa meningioma, carotid artery occlusion, thyroplasty, meningioma classification Meningiomas are common tumors of the nervous system, representing 18% of primary intracranial tumors and 25% of primary intraspinal tumors. 1 Meningiomas appear to be more common in Africans and represent almost 30% of primary intracranial tumors. 2 Extracranial and extraspinal meningiomas are rare with an incidence of 1 to 2%. 3 Extension of intracranial meningiomas to the parapharyngeal and cervical regions is exceedingly rare. 4 The clinical diagnosis of cervical meningiomas can be difficult as more common cervical tumors such as metastatic epithelial tumors, schwannomas, or paragangliomas are likely to be suspected first. 5 We report on a meningioma with intracranial and extracranial components that presents with a cervical mass.
