title: Isolated middle ear meningioma.
abstract: Meningiomas are slowly progressive, benign tumors that originate from meningothelial cells. Extracranial meningiomas, especially isolated middle ear meningiomas, are very rare. In this article, we report a rare secretory type primary middle ear meningioma which was histopathologically confirmed in a 46-year-old female patient who presented with otological and neurootological symptoms.
