Intradiploic meningioma with spontaneous epidural hematoma in a child: a case report.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIntradiploic meningiomas are exceedingly rare tumors that arise within the skull's diploic space, and they are especially uncommon in the pediatric population. To date, an intradiploic meningioma presenting with a spontaneous epidural hematoma has not been reported in a child. CASE DESCRIPTION: We present the case of an 8-year-old boy with a 4-year history of a right frontal skull mass who developed a sudden severe headache. Imaging revealed an expansile lytic lesion in the right frontotemporal bone with an associated epidural hematoma, despite no history of trauma. The patient underwent surgical resection of the lesion and evacuation of the hematoma. Histopathological analysis confirmed a meningioma.
conclusionThis case represents the first reported pediatric intradiploic meningioma presenting with a spontaneous epidural hematoma. It underscores that in cases of epidural hematoma without trauma, an underlying pathology such as a tumor should be suspected. Prompt surgical intervention in such cases can be life-saving.
