Abstract
We report a case of a Sylvian fissure meningioma in a young child that was demonstrated at angiography to have an intrinsic blood supply from the middle cerebral artery, and at operation was found to be without dural attachment. The site and the lack of dural attachment are very rare, although they may like other rare characteristics of meningiomas be features of childhood tumours.
