摘要

Background

Arterial supply of intracranial meningiomas is a complex issues and it affects the treatment and surgical complications. On the other hand, some classic angiographic signs can be useful for the diagnosis and found using noninvasinve imaging too.

Methods

We reported a case of a 53 years old man with a huge olphactory groove meningioma studies using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA). Both MRI and DSA were able to image two calssic angiographic signs of meningioma, i.e. mother-in-law sign and sunburst sign, with different time frames.

Conclusions

The identification of classic DSA signs of arterial supply in cranial meningiomas using noninvasive imaging techniques can support the diagnosis and help in the planning of treatment.
