Abstract

Papillary meningioma (PM) is a rare histological variant of intracranial meningioma, which displays an aggressive behavior and its management is difficult. The present study reported the case of a 21-year-old male patient, who presented with headaches and dizziness. Upon neurological examination, left hypoglossal nerve palsy and left cerebellar signs were observed. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans of the brain revealed a high-density mass in the left jugular foramen area. Following an uneventful complete surgical resection of the tumor, a definitive diagnosis of Grade III PM was determined based on the histopathological findings, according to the World Health Organization classification. CT scanning one day after surgery confirmed that the tumor had been completely resected, and after four years of follow-up, no evidence of transformation or recurrence was observed.
