Abstract
- Clear cell meningioma is a recently recognized variant of meningiomas. We present a case of a 47-year old man with clear cell meningioma which involved right cerebellar hemisphere. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 3(34cm sized well enhanced round nodular lesion with mild mass effect. He underwent suboccipital craniectomy with a successful total removal of the tumor. To our knowledge, this is the first report of clear cell meningioma in our country.
