Abstract

Meningioma is the most common extraaxial neoplasm of adults. Among its histological variant, Chordoid meningioma is uncommon. We report a 19years young girl who presented with simple partial seizure, headache for 3 months. The neurological examination was normal. The imaging of the patient showed a lobulated lesion with solid and cystic component located in the left occipital region. We proceeded with left occipital craniotomy and total excision of the lesion. The histopathological report was chordoid meningioma. The post-operative period was uneventful.
