Abstract:
Deep sylvian meningioma is a rare form of meningiomas. So far, only 4 cases including the present one have been reported in South Korea. A 43-year-old man without any previous medical history presented to our hospital with seizure. There was a rim enhancing mass in the right deep sylvian fissure without dural attachment on magnetic resonance images. Surgical resection of the mass revealed the lesion to be a meningioma in this patient.
