Meningiomas are the most common non-glial tumor of the central nervous system (CNS). Seen in middle age with a female preponderance, most of the tumors are solitary and supratentorial with benign histology (WHO grade I). Atypical and anaplastic (malignant) meningiomas (WHO grade II and III), comprise 15-20% of all intracranial meningiomas [12345]. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the imaging modality of choice.
