Abstract:
Meningeal tumor obstructing the foramen magnum is relatively rare, moreover occurrence of such a tumor in children has rarely been reported. This tumor shows various characteristic clinical manifestations, partly from anatomical standpoint and partly from unknown mechanism. In addition, not uncommon remitting and relapsing clinical course often presents diagnostic conflicts. We experienced a case of basilar groove meningioma presenting many difficult problems in the diagnosis and treatment, which was confirmed at operation and subsequent autopsy in a child.
