- An incidental, calcified right frontal extraaxial mass can be discerned with reactive thickening of the adjacent calvarium. No sign of perifocal edema, or infiltrative growth.

Case Discussion
Typical presentation of an incidentally discovered burnt out meningioma, which carries a good prognosis.
