Zusammenfassung:Highlight • Calvarian lesions should include low grade gliomas in the differential diagnosis. • Contrast enhancement is mandatory when a calvarial lesion is proven. • Surgery is the first step of treatment. • Should be taken care of watertight closure of the dura for CSF leakage prevention. • Cranioplasty may be done on second stage, depending of histopathological findings.
