Deep Sylvian meningiomas.
A case of deep Sylvian meningioma in a 35-year-old woman was precisely diagnosed preoperatively with the aid of computed tomography and stereoscopic cerebral angiography. On reviewing the literature, it appears to be the first case that has been accurately diagnosed preoperatively and successfully treated by a total excision without serious complication. We report this case in detail together with another, similar case which we had encountered previously.
