title: Posttraumatic cutaneous meningioma of the face.
abstract: We present the CT and MR features of a posttraumatic cutaneous meningioma of the face. We postulate that the patient's trauma and associated skull fracture resulted in a trapping of extracranial meningeal tissue, which many years later gave rise to a secondary facial meningioma.
