About This Article
Descriptions
Two cases of foramen magnum meningioma were successfully treated at early stage. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) played an important role for accurate diagnosis. The tumors were microsurgically removed and the patuents returned to socity in full capacity. The foramen magnum meningioma is rare, and potentially curable. The recognition of this entity is important for neurologists, orthopodists and neurosurgenos in the differential diagnosis of the craniocervical problems.
