Abstract：Objective To enhance the levels of diagnosis and treatment of meningeal hemangiopericytomas which is an uncommon disease. Methods The clinical data of 8 patients with meningeal hemangiopericytomases were analyzed retrospectively, including the clinical manifestations, imaging features and postoperative pathological data. Results The meningeal hemangiopericytomases were definitely diagnoses by the postoperative pathological examination but not by preoperative images examination. It was seen intraoperatively that the tumors appeared pale and the tumourous parenchyma was hard and tough. Of 8 patients with meningeal hemangiopericytomases,7 received total resection of the tumors and 1 subtotal.Conclusion The differential diagnoses of the meningeal hemangiopericytomas and meninginoma should be made. The surgical resection followed by radiotherapy can reduce meningeal hemangiopericytomas recurrence.
