Abstract:
Meningioma arises from the arachnoid cap cell found in the arachnoid layer of the meninges. Most meningiomas are located in the subdural space. Meningiomas are mostly found in adulthood between 20 and 60 years of age. A case of intracranial epidural meningioma without involvement of the subdural space is reported.
