Abstract

Meningioma is a commonly encountered solitary, benign, intracranial, extra-axial tumor in day-to-day brain imaging. Majority are dural-based located commonly at the cerebral convexities. Uncommonly, they are multiple or may be seen in intraventricular location. Coexisting dural and intraventricular meningioma is an exceedingly rare entity. It may be difficult to differentiate them from metastases. Hence through this case report, we attempt to describe this rare entity with its differentiation from similarappearing lesions.
