Abstract

Intracranial multiple meningiomas are not uncommon, but multiple meningiomas consisting of different subtypes are rare. Here, we describe an adult male patient with two meningiomas located at sphenoid ridge, with different features on MRI and CTA. Histological examination revealed that one was fibrous meningioma and the other was psammomatous meningioma.
