Abstract EN
Pilocytic astrocytomas and meningiomas are benign, primary brain tumors that may involve the optic tract.
Classically, the presence of a dural “tail” sign may differentiate a meningioma from other intracranial lesions.
In this report, we describe a mass with the typical appearance of a clinoidal meningioma on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) but postoperatively diagnosed as a pilocytic astrocytoma.
This case illustrates the rare occurrence of a pilocytic astrocytoma mimicking a meningioma on MRI.
