Abstract:
The authors report the clinical features, radiologic findings and the operative management of three patients with tentorial free edge meningioma. The frequent symptoms and signs were headache, facial pain, tinnitus, dizziness, increased intracranial pressure and cranial nerves deficits. Tentorial free edge meningiomas are not only very rare but also very difficulty in total removal without complications. In this presentation, we are discussed the nature of this tumor and operative technique with review of literature.
