Abstract
Clear cell meningiomas (CCMs) are rare subtypes of meningiomas and usually treated by maximum safely achievable tumor resection. We here present three hereditary cases with CCMs which were confirmed by Sanger sequencing of lymphocyte DNA. Gross total resection was achieved in a 5-year-old son with a spinal CCM and a 34-year-old father with a CCM in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA). For a 14-year-old daughter with CCM in the CPA, total resection was not achieved due to its large size. Early detection by screening high-risk family with CCM is strongly recommended.
