Abstract
A case of a tentorial meningioma with atypical histological features invading the transverse sinus and extending along the internal jugular vein up to the superior mediastinum is described. This report illustrates one of the many ways meningiomas spread beyond the cranial cavity and the difficulty in managing such a problem.
