Abstract
The dural tail on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) images, fr equently observed in meningiomas, has been used to distinguish between cerebellopontine angle meningiomas and vestibular schwannomas. We rep ort on a 66-year-old female with vestibular schwannoma showing the dur al tail on contrast-enhanced MR images. Histological examination revea led that the dural tail corresponded to the thickened dura mater compr ising of collagen fibres and scattered hyalinization with no tumoral i nvasion.
