Clear-cell meningioma: CT and MR imaging findings in two cases involving the spinal canal and cerebellopontine angle

Korean J Radiol. 2002 Apr-Jun;3(2):125-9. doi: 10.3348/kjr.2002.3.2.125.

Abstract

Clear-cell meningioma is a rare subtype of meningioma which occurs at a younger age and has a higher recurrence rate than other subtypes. We report two cases of clear-cell meningioma, one in the thoracolumbar spinal canal and the other in the cerebellopontine angle. Though the CT and MR imaging findings were not different from those of ordinary meningioma, after surgical removal the condition recurred repeatedly in the patient with spinal canal involvement.
