title: Suprasellar cystic meningioma: unusual presentation and review of the literature.
abstract: We report on a case of suprasellar cystic meningioma. The magnetic resonance imaging of this tumor resembled that of a craniopharyngioma. The definitive diagnosis of meningioma was made only after histopathological confirmation. We conclude that preoperative studies are often equivocal. The possibility of meningioma should be considered in the diagnosis of any intracranial neoplasms with radiological and surgical evidence of a cystic lesion.
