Giant calvarial hyperostosis with biparasagittal en plaque meningioma

Neurol India. 2006 Jun;54(2):210-2.

Abstract

We report a patient with an uncommon presentation in the form of massive bilateral calvarial hyperostosis with bi-parasagittal en plaque meningioma. The tumour was removed by bilateral fronto-parieto-occipital craniotomies. The patient was subjected to post operative radiotherapy to reduce the chances of recurrance. The management of such a case is a surgical challenge.
