title: Intradiploic orbital roof meningioma with pneumosinus dilatans in a child: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Intradiploic meningioma of the orbital roof is a type of intraosseous meningioma. It is very rare in children, and only 7 cases have been reported in the pediatric age group. We report a case of a 14-year-old female who presented with progressive exophthalmos, diplopia and pain involving the right eye. Computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an intradiploic orbital roof tumor with diploe expansion and pneumosinus dilatans. The tumor was completely removed surgically. The histopathological diagnosis was transitional meningioma. The clinical and radiological findings of intadiploic meningioma are discussed with a review of the relevant literature.
