摘要
Meningiomas without attachment to the dura are rare. .These meningiomas are more common in children than in adults, and are found more often in the supratentorial region than in the infratentorial region. Thus, adult meningiomas contained entirely within the brain parenchyma and located in the posterior fossa are extremely rare. Previously, only Teo et al3 have reported an intraparenchymal meningioma occurred in the brainstem. Here, we present a case of adult transitional meningioma located entirely in the right cerebellum. This diagnosis was confm-ned by detailed radiological, surgical, and pathological analyses.
