“…11,23 Incidence of cystic component was relatively high in our RMs (38%) compared with typical meningiomas (4%-7%). 24,25 Six of 16 RMs had cystic components: 5 peritumoral cysts and 1 intratumoral cyst. These 2 cyst types have quite different formation mechanisms.…”

We report a case of spinal clear-cell meningioma occurring in a 22-month-old male who presented a right limp and then refused to walk. Spinal magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a large, intradural tumor from T₁₁ to L₄, which was totally excised. The patient’s postoperative recovery was uneventful and 5 months after surgery he began walking again. The latest follow-up magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and spine, obtained 42 months after diagnosis, was negative for tumor recurrence. Though clear-cell meningioma is a rare form of meningioma, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any space-occupying lesion of the spine arising in very young children. Complete surgical removal is necessary because it is potentially aggressive and may recur. After surgery, an accurate follow-up is warranted.

RESUMO -Os meningiomas correspondem de 1% a 4% das neoplasias intracranianas primárias em pacientes pediátricos; a incidência nesta população aumenta de acordo com a faixa etária. Não há predominância quanto ao sexo, ao contrário do que acontece na população adulta onde predominam no sexo feminino. Relatamos dois casos de meningioma em crianças, discutindo os aspectos clínicos, radiológicos e histológicos desta entidade. O primeiro paciente é do sexo masculino, com 2 anos de idade e apresentava com crises convulsivas há 4 meses. Os exames de imagem revelaram uma lesão expansiva de 20 mm na região parietooccipital direita, a qual foi totalmente ressecada. Os exames histológico e imunohistoquímico definiram o diagnóstico de meningioma. Atualmente, 17 meses após a cirurgia, o paciente encontra-se bem, sem evidências de recidiva tumoral. O segundo paciente é do sexo feminino, com 11 anos, e queixava-se de cefaléia frontal há 2 anos. Os exames radiológicos demonstraram presença de lesão expansiva de 5 cm em região frontal direita. Realizou-se craniotomia frontal com ressecção total do tumor. O diagnóstico histológico foi de meningioma. Atualmente, 20 meses após a cirurgia, encontra-se sem evidência de recidiva tumoral. Os autores discutem ainda o tratamento e prognóstico dos meningiomas pediátricos ressaltando que apesar de incomuns, estes devem fazer parte do diagnóstico diferencial de lesões intracranianas expansivas nesta faixa etária. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: meningioma, crianças, sistema nervoso central. Meningiomas in pediatric patients: report of two casesABSTRACT -Meningiomas correspond to 1% -4% of primary intracranial tumors in pediatric group, with their incidence raising according to age. There is not gender prevalence, in spite of some authors describe a male tendency opposed to female one in adulthood. At present study we describe two cases of pediatric meningiomas reviewing clinical, radiological and histological aspects of these lesions. The authors review also treatment options and prognosis of childhood meningiomas. A two-year-old boy was admitted with seizures. Computerized tomography showed a right parietal lesion, which was totally resected. Histological features were compatible with meningioma. After 17 months the child is doing well, with no deficits or seizures. The second case is a 12-year-old girl, with a headache complain. During investigation, a CT revealed a right frontal lesion. She was operated under a right frontal craniotomy with total tumor resection. Nowadays she is asymptomatic, 20 months after surgery. Despite meningiomas in pediatric group are uncommon; they should be included in differential diagnosis list of expansive intracranial lesions of childhood.
