Spinal cystic meningioma presenting as a ring enhancing lesion on MRI
Main Article Content
Abstract
Spinal meningiomas are much more common in women. The peak age incidence of presentation occurs in the sixth decade. Cystic meningiomas are rare and seem to have a predilection for children. We report a case of cystic spinal meningioma in a young man presenting as a ring enhancing lesion on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This case is unusual because of the atypical features of the tumour, the relatively young age and sex of the patient.
