Trilobed meningioma: ampulla of posterior semicircular canal, internal auditory canal, and cerebellopontine angle. 1980

K H Brookler, and R A Hoffman, and M Camins, and J Terzakis

Meningiomas rarely arise from or remain limited to the temporal bone. When the diagnosis of temporal bone meningioma is made, it is mandatory to investigate the possibility of an intracranial component. Computerized axial tomography with contrast enhancement is of limited value in detecting small tumors adjacent to the temporal bone or within the internal auditory canal. If the computerized tomogram is normal, a positive contrast posterior fossa myelogram is indicated. The pitfall of depending solely upon computerized tomography to detect intracranial extension became clear in the evaluation of a patient found to have an unusual trilobed meningioma.

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.

D012665 Semicircular Canals Three long canals (anterior, posterior, and lateral) of the bony labyrinth. They are set at right angles to each other and are situated posterosuperior to the vestibule of the bony labyrinth (VESTIBULAR LABYRINTH). The semicircular canals have five openings into the vestibule with one shared by the anterior and the posterior canals. Within the canals are the SEMICIRCULAR DUCTS.
