| | Pathomorphology or Pathophysiology of this disease : | Meningeoma | |
| | Radiological findings: |
 <- view MRI 1
MRI 1: Skull in a T2-weighted image with inhomogenic low signal mass in a dumbell form. Compression of the cerebellum and medulla.
 <- view MRI 2
MRI 2: Skull in a T1-weighted image : inhomogenic mass, which is low in signals.
 <- view MRI 3
MRI 3: T1-weighted image of the Skull with i.v. contrast (transversal): inhomogenic enhancement within the mass, which directly reaches the cavernous sinus and carotid artery.
 <- view MRI 4
MRI 4: T1-weighted image of the Skull with i.v. contrast (coronal) inhomogenic enhancement within the mass, which directly reaches the cavernous sinus and carotid artery.
