Abstract
Two patients with verified meningiomas involving the posterior part of the falx and the midline tentorium extending into the pineal region are reported. Preoperative angiography disclosed occlusion of the straight sinus in both patients. The operative results are described, and the safety of surgical occlusion of the galenic system is discussed.
