Journal Title: Nepal Journal of Neuroscience - Year 2009, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
We present a lady with scalp swelling and headache. CT scan of brain showed a right parietal bony lesion without any dural or parenchymal invasion. Tumour was removed. Bony gap was repaired by acrylic bone cement. Post operative recovery was uneventful. Biopsy report of tumor was primary calvarial meningioma. This is a very rare type of CNS tumor. Only very few cases were reported before.
