The Authors report 2 cases of recurrent cystic meningiomas among 22 cases operated on. After a review of the literature, the pathogenesis of the recurrences of these tumors is discussed, concluding that wrong interpretation of neuroradiological examination and/or incomplete extirpation of tumoral capsule are the main factors responsible of recurrences of cystic meningiomas.
