Abstract

Meningiomas are the most common central nervous system neoplasms and occur most frequently along the dural folds and cerebral convexities. While meningiomas are slow growing and typically do not invade brain parenchyma they are of clinical importance as they can impinge surrounding structure causing a variety of signs and symptoms depending on size and location. We report here a rare subgroup of extradural meningiomas that emerge from the calvaria, a primary intraosseous meningioma, found during cadaveric dissection in a graduate anatomy course in the Department of Physician Assistant Studies at Samford University.
