Problems with the "dural tail" sign

Neuroradiology. 1993;35(7):541-2. doi: 10.1007/BF00588718.

Abstract

Prominent enhancement of the dura mater, the "dural tail" adjacent to a peripherally located mass on gadolinium-enhanced MRI has been described as being characteristic of meningiomas. We present a cerebral glioma showing the classical "dural tail".
