There have been somewhat conflicting reports published about the significance of Linear meningeal thickening and enhancement adjacent to peripherally Located cranial mass lesions on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) images. Most of the authors consider this so-called dural tail sign or flare sign almost specific for meningioma. This review illustrates the MR imaging findings of a wide spectrum of disorders that show this dural sign. Causes include other extra-axial lesions and also peripherally located intra-axial lesions such as neuromas, chloromas, metastases, lymphoma, gliomas, pituitary diseases, granulomatous disorders, and also cerebral Erdheim-Chester disease. The dural tail sign is not specific to a particular pathological process. Nevertheless, useful conclusions can be drawn from the morphology of the lesion, its enhancement pattern, and its solitary or multifocal presentation. The final diagnosis must be based on cerebrospinal fluid studies or histological studies after biopsy. (C) 2005 The Royal College of Radiologists. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
