Abstract
Ossified spinal meningiomas alone are uncommon lesions and spinal meni ngiomas en plaque are even more. A rare case is presented of ossified meningioma en plaque in the midthoracic spine, which was totally remov ed. Characteristics of this tumor with reference to relatively pathogn omonic neuroimagings are discussed. Microsurgical outcome of this type of tumor is expected to be good.
