Abstract
A case of a patient with a posterior fossa meningioma extending through the hypoglossal canal to the cervical region as described in this article has not been previously described in the literature. Investigations and surgical management are outlined and pathological classifications are discussed. A literature review including recent reports of extracranial meningiomas is presented. Extracranial meningiomas are exceedingly rare and a high index of suspicion is necessary to make the diagnosis.Entities:
