Meningioma seen at autopsy, as a tumor of the dura mater extending into the cranial cavity, and can be detached from the bone along with the rest of the dura mater. Small tumors (e.g., < 2.0 cm) usually are incidental findings at autopsy without having caused symptoms. Larger tumors may cause symptoms, depending on the size and location.
Dural tail sign seen associated with a meningioma. The dural tail sign (also known as "dural thickening", "flare sign", or "meningeal sign") is a radiological finding observed in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of the brain that refers to a thickening of the dura mater immediately adjacent to a mass lesion, such as a brain tumor.

MRI of a patient with ONSM. The most common symptom of ONSM is a gradual loss of vision in one eye. In a minority of patients this may be intermittent, at least to begin with. Less common symptoms include pain in the affected eye, protrusion of the eye, or double vision. [2]
Sphenoid wing meningioma in magnetic resonance imaging (T1w contrast enhanced) Sphenoid wing meningioma in computed tomography which shows the reactive orbital hyperostosis. A sphenoid wing meningioma is a benign brain tumor near the sphenoid bone.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is typically used in spinal nerve sheath tumor diagnosis. [1] Each nerve sheath tumor type has a few different associated features on MRI imaging. Neurofibromas and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors can be difficult to distinguish from each other and may require additional testing, including PET scans ...
Visual field-right superior quadrantanopia. Lesions of right temporal lobe (meyer's Loop) of the optic radiation on one side produces a loss of the upper, outer quadrant of vision on the contralateral side, known as homonymous superior quadrantanopia or superior quadrantic hemianopia. [25] This is also known as pie in the sky disorder. [3]
Several different types of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be employed in diagnosis: MRI without contrast, Gd contrast enhanced T1-weighted MRI (GdT1W) or T2-weighted enhanced MRI (T2W or T2*W). Non-contrast enhanced MRI is considerably less expensive than any of the contrast enhanced MRI scans. The gold standard in diagnosis is GdT1W MRI.
MRI can make a diagnosis even without an analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid but it can sometimes be difficult to detect because MRI scans cannot always pick up the problem. [ 20 ] Diagnosis is most commonly made by lumbar puncture to detect malignant cells in the CSF, although the tests may be negative in roughly 10% of patients. [ 5 ]
