The authors report the usefulness of the skull's computerized tomography for the exact diagnosis of the meningiomas. The 16 cases reported were comproved surgical and histologically. The average was 52.1 years. They dealt out 10 females and 6 males. According to their localization, there are 5 on the orbital cavity and/or sphenoid ridge (31.2%), 3 of the falx (18.7%), 3 parasagitals (18.7%), 2 suprasellars (12.5%), 2 of the convexity (12.5%) and 1 of the tentorium (6.2%). The authors concluded that the computerized tomography of the skull is of high positiveness (95-98%), without damages for the patient, and nowadays it allows precocity in diagnosis, and, consequently, with better therapeutic results.

D008579 Meningioma A relatively common neoplasm of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that arises from arachnoidal cells. The majority are well differentiated vascular tumors which grow slowly and have a low potential to be invasive, although malignant subtypes occur. Meningiomas have a predilection to arise from the parasagittal region, cerebral convexity, sphenoidal ridge, olfactory groove, and SPINAL CANAL.
