Abstract

Inflammatory pseudotumour is a rare pathology of unknown aetiology, located predominantly in the orbita and lungs. Intracranial localisation is infrequent.

The most frequent intracranial localisations include the cranial base and cavernous sinus. In the present paper, we present a case report of a 43-year-old woman diagnosed with a contrast-enhancing extra-axial lesion of the convexity.

The patient underwent a surgery and the lesion was extirpated. The diagnosis of inflammatory pseudotumour was verified by histology.

The patient is free of any symptoms one year after surgery.
