Abstract :

OBJECTIVE: To study magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings of 62 patients diagnosed with meningioma. METHOD: The study was done on 62 patients with histological proven intracranial meningioma and their imaging findings were studied. The study included 33 female and 29 male patients using the standard protocol MR imaging examination with a 1.5–T MR imaging unit.
 RESULTS: Iso–intense signals are noted in most of the cases, 61% on T1 (n=38) and 54% on T2 (n=34) respectively. However, hypointense signals were noted in 21% (n=13) cases on T1 images and hypointense signal on T2 weighted images in 1.6 % (n=1). After contrast administration, 58% (n=36) showed homogenous enhancement and 42% (n=26) showed heterogenous enhancement. CONCLUSION: Intracranial meningiomas usually show heterogeneous low signal on T1– weighted and high signal on T2–weighted and FLAIR images, with intense enhancement after contrast administration.
