Intradural osteomas: Report of two cases

Figure 1 Images of Case 1. A: Computed tomography showed a lesion, round in shape and with high density, in the left frontal area; B: In the sagittal bone window of computed tomography, a curvilinear lucent line was present between the inner table of the skull and the ossified mass; C: Gross intraoperative view right after opening the skull and retracting the dura. A bony, hard mass was found attached to the inner surface of the dura mater; D: Gross intraoperative view after lesion removal. The underlying arachnoid and compressed brain tissue were intact; E: Gross view of the resected intradural osteoma (right) and the normal inner plate of the skull (left); F: Hematoxylin-eosin-stained section (100 ×) showed mature lamella bone, comprised of the Haver’s system and normal osteocytes between osteoid layers, in pathology examination.
