Intracanalicular meningioma: diagnostic by immunohistochemistry.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The meningioma (ME) was originally described by Virchow in 1863 as a tumor originating from meningothelial cells that are usually found within leptomeninges and the choroid plexi of the ventricles, with a preference for the supratentorial area. Any area that is covered by the leptomeninges, however, is potentially a site of origin for meningiomas. The first report of an exclusively intracanalicular (IC) ME has been attributed to Singh et al. in 1975. Since then, about 15 ICME have been described in the English medical literature.

Entirely intracanalicular meningioma: contrast-enhanced MR findings in a rare entity.
We report an unusual case of an entirely intracanalicular meningioma in a 51-year-old woman. Contrast-enhanced MR images showed an enhancing lesion filling the lateral portion of the left internal auditory canal. Our findings suggest that meningiomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of entirely intracanalicular masses.
متن کاملIntracanalicular meningioma mimicking vestibular schwannoma.
SUMMARY Three cases of intracanalicular meningioma mimicking vestibular schwannoma are presented. In each case, a contrast-enhancing mass filling the internal auditory canal was identified on MR images and was originally diagnosed as a vestibular schwannoma. Although it is difficult to differentiate definitively between these lesions preoperatively, imaging findings inconsistent with a diagnosi...
متن کاملMeningioma of the internal auditory canal: a case report.
Meningioma of the internal auditory canal is very rare. There are only 15 previous reports of intracanalicular meningioma. The authors add a case report of a patient with meningioma of the internal auditory canal. A 31-year-old woman presented with a one-year history of headache, dizziness, hearing loss and left facial paralysis. An MRI of the temporal bone demonstrated a tiny isointense intrac...
متن کاملGas CT cisternography of an intracanalicular vascular malformation.
Gas CT cisternography has been shown to be an excellent technique for diagnosing intracanalicular acoustic neuromas [1, 2]. While other intracanalicular lesions, such as meningiomas, hemangiomas, cholesteatomas, gliomas, and hamartomas, are much less common, they do occur [3-6]. We describe the cisternographic findings in a patient with a purely intracanalicular vascular malformation and point ...
متن کاملIntracanalicular optic nerve meningioma: a serious diagnostic pitfall.
We describe six cases of cannalicular optic nerve meningioma in which the diagnosis was missed for more than 1 year after the onset of symptoms. Clinical features led to a misdiagnosis of optic neuritis in all cases. Although atypical clinical progression led to further imaging studies, they did not provide the diagnosis because of inappropriate imaging protocols. Diagnosis was eventually made ...
