Abstract

Meningioma without dural attachment usually occurs in the intraventricular region, the pineal region, and the sylvian fissure. However, subcortical meningioma located far from such locations is extremely rare. The authors report a case of subcortical anaplastic meningioma without any dural attachment in a 41-year-old woman.
