We report a rare case of a 61-year-old female who presented with a 1-month history of headache and gait instability. Imaging findings were suggestive of a meningioma arising from the falx cerebelli. Complete surgical resection was achieved with a standard posterior fossa midline approach. Duraplasty was performed using animal allograft dura (Duraguard) and additional layers of oxidized cellulose preparation (Surgicel), fibrin sealant, and nonsuturable collagen matrix (Duragen) were utilized to reduce the risk of a cerebrospinal fluid leak. Pathology confirmed a World Health Organization (WHO) grade-I meningioma. Postoperatively, patient with asymptomatic thrombosis of the left transverse\/sigmoid sinuses and later with a pseudomeningocele managed with a lumbar drain. To our knowledge, this is the second documented case in the literature. We discuss intraoperative nuances and unique aspects in the postoperative care and management of these patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1735905","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,29]],"date-time":"2021-09-29T22:31:20Z","timestamp":1632954680000},"page":"e32-e35","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Falx Cerebelli Meningioma: Case Report of a Rarely Occurring Tumor, Management Nuances, and Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"82","author":[{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Gallo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Florida, College of Medicine, Jacksonville, Florida, United Sates"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Grzegorz","family":"Brzezicki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Florida, College of Medicine, Jacksonville, Florida, United Sates"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raafat","family":"Makary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Florida, College of Medicine, Jacksonville, Florida, United Sates"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gazanfar","family":"Rahmathulla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Florida, College of Medicine, Jacksonville, Florida, United Sates"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dinesh","family":"Rao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Florida, College of Medicine, Jacksonville, Florida, United Sates"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daryoush","family":"Tavanaiepour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Florida, College of Medicine, Jacksonville, Florida, United Sates"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,29]]},"reference":[{"issue":"03","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"181","DOI":"10.1007\/s12565-012-0168-4","article-title":"Absent falx cerebelli: report of a rare case","volume":"88","author":"I N Mavridis","year":"2013","journal-title":"Anat Sci Int"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"900","DOI":"10.1093\/neuros\/nyaa038","article-title":"Is falcine meningioma a diffuse disease of the falx?
