Abstract

Meningioma is a benign tumor of slow growth and represent between 15 to 20% of all intracranial tumors. Meningiomas of cerebellum tentorium represent less than 5%. We present a 57 year-old man who developed headache, dizziness and cerebellum syndrome 3 months. The CT-Scan showed a large, hyperdense extra axial tumor on posterior fossa, coming from cerebellum tentorium suggesting a Meningioma causing an obstructive hydrocephalus. A total excision of the tumor was done, and hydrocephalus was managed at the same surgical session. The patient’s recovery was good without complications.
