Clear-cell meningioma; CT and MR imaging findings in two cases involving the spinal canal and cerebellopontine angle

Clear-cell meningioma is a rare subtype of meningioma which occurs at a younger age and has a higher recurrence rate than other subtypes. We report two cases of clear-cell meningioma, one in the thoracolumbar spinal canal and the other in the cerebellopontine angle.
