“…Different histopathological subtypes and different grades have been described in multiple meningioma .The majority are benign and WHO grade 1. 4 The most common histological types reported in multiple meningiomas are psammomatous, fibrous, meningothelial, and transitional type. 10,[13][14][15] Our case histopathology reported as fibrous type WHO grade 1.…”

Meningiomatosis (multiple meningioma) are defined by the presence of at least 2 simultaneous lesions present at different intracranial locations without an association with neurofibromatosis type 2. It accounts for 1-10 % of meningioma. it is usually common in females. It can occur with or without signs of neurofibromatosis. The primary goal of treatment is to remove the lesion causing sign and symptoms and to follow others. Surgery is the main treatment option as like solitary meningioma and the prognosis is usually very good. We will discuss here a case of 52 years female diagnosed as a case of multiple meningioma describe her clinical, radiological and histopathological features. We will also highlight the surgical managements and postoperative course.

“…Majority of multiple meningiomas (80–90%) are benign and classified as WHO grade I. Anaplastic or malignant meningiomas (WHO grade III) are the rarest (1–3%) [8], [9]. Tomita et al described multiple meningiomas consisting of fibrous meningioma and anaplastic meningioma [10].…”

“…Another system uses the terms benign, atypical and malignant (or anaplastic) to describe the overall grade of meningioma (16) . In this system, benign meningioma contain easily recognized, well-differentiated (resembling normal) cell types which tend to grow slowly (11) . Atypical tumors represent 10-15% of meningioma.…”

Meningioma and CT scan examination plus MRI. Chi-Square. Purpose: To determine the diagnostic accuracy values of CT. Scan in the detection of meningioma in the brain. Correlated the accuracy of MRI with meningioma volume in (CC). Methods: Prospective study of Saudi both males & females patients of different age-randomly of 35 patients using CT. Scan axial, sagittal and coronal scans while in MRI Scan using standard protocol of examinations T1 weighted image and T2 weighted image in all cases were examined. The results are classified in tables and using Chi-Square analysis. Results: Both CT. Scan and MRI exam's can find meningioma lesion more than zero (cc). The table-7 Chi-Square test showing the P. Value =0.410 > 0.05 showing No. significant between the CT. Scan and MRI in finding the meningioma. Moreover, the table-10: Shows Chi-Square the P.value =0.008 > 0.05 showing significant in assessment of meningioma volume in (cc). Conclusion: Meningioma CT. Scan is useful examination in emergency patients. While MRI should always be considered as an indispensable imaging modality in the assessment of meningioma volume (cc). Both CT. Scan and MRI are used to support the diagnosis and evaluation of meningioma. But MRI is better in accurate diagnosis meningioma volume (cc).
