title: [Meningioma of the posterior fossa with extracranial expansion in a child: report of a case].
abstract: A case of posterior fossa meningeoma with extracranial projection in a three years old female child is reported. The rarity of the process, its localization and the age group committed are emphasized. The radiological findings first suggesting an aneurismatic bone cyst like are commented. The surgical treatment with a posterior fossa approach and good results observed as well as the rarity of this pathology justify the report.
