A 40-year-old Chinese man presented with a 1-month history of olfactory loss. Neurologic examination revealed bilateral loss of the sense of smell. A computed tomographic (CT) scan of the head showed intracranial masses. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed two intracranial masses involving the anterior cranial fossa and the right frontal parasagittal region. These two masses were isointense on T1-weighted images and slightly hypointense on T2-weighted images. Following gadolinium administration, the masses demonstrated homogeneous enhancement. Based on the above imaging results, the preoperative diagnosis of multiple meningioma was made (Fig. 1).

Imaging findings. A CT scan demonstrates a bilateral anterior cranial fossa lesion. B, C This lesion is isointense on T1 and slightly hypointense on T2-weighted MRI. D, F Homogeneously enhancing mass lesion in the bilateral anterior cranial fossa and a right frontal parasagittal lesion on axial contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRI. E Sagittal views of T1-weighted MRI post-gadolinium demonstrate a large, homogenously enhancing anterior cranial fossa and frontal parasagittal region. The 3-month follow-up MRI shows no recurrence in the horizontal (G and I) or sagittal views (H)
