title: [Cystic meningioma].
abstract: Cystic meningiomas are uncommon lesions. CT image may simulate a glial or a metastatic tumor with cystic or necrotic changes. The correct radiological evaluation and the recognition of this kind of tumor are important for surgical treatment since they are potentially curable neoplasms. In this paper the authors report their experience with the treatment of three cases of cystic meningiomas, and discuss some characteristics of these lesions.
