Abstract

Spinal meningioma is one of relatively common spinal tumors with an incidence of 25-46%. However, ossified spinal meningioma is known to be extremely rare and its incidence of all the meningiomas is about 0.7-5.5%. Until now, there has been no report of ossified meningioma in Korea. We experienced two cases of this rare lesion, and we report on the CT and MRI findings along with a review of the related literature.
