Abstract
Two cases of cystic meningioma simulating glioma, both clinically and radiologically, are reported and the literature is reviewed. The majority of cystic meningiomas in children are seen below the age of 1 year, with male preponderance. There is no relationship between cyst formation and histological type of meningioma.
