【 摘 要 】

The meningioma (ME) was originally described by Virchow in 1863 as a tumor originating from meningothelial cells that are usually found within leptomeninges and the choroid plexi of the ventricles, with a preference for the supratentorial area.1 Any area that is covered by the leptomeninges, however, is potentially a site of origin for meningiomas. The first report of an exclusively intracanalicular (IC) ME has been attributed to Singh et al. in 1975.2 Since then, about 15 ICME have been described in the English medical literature.1,3
