ABSTRACT
Meningiomas, originating from the meninges encasing the brain and spinal cord, are the most prevalent primary intracranial tumors, constituting around 40% of all such tumors. These tumors primarily manifest within the dura mater, the outermost meningeal layer, and occasionally in locations such as the ventricular system. However, the concurrent presence of dural and intraventricular meningiomas is exceedingly rare. It could be challenging to tell them apart from metastases. We present a case of a middle-aged female with chronic headaches, where magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed two distinct supratentorial lesions, one dural and the other intraventricular. Surgical excision was successfully performed, and histopathological analysis confirmed the presence of meningiomas in both locations, and subsequent referral was made for comprehensive management, encompassing radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This case underscores the significance of advanced imaging modalities, particularly MRI, in diagnosing and assessing intricate brain tumors.
