Deep Sylvian meningiomas are rare and difficult to diagnose when small tumours lead to various symptoms. The difficulty associated with surgery is underestimated. Our case involved a mass (11 mm × 12 mm × 12 mm in size) in the right Sylvian fissure. It is the smallest deep Sylvian meningioma known and might be more easily misdiagnosed than previous examples.
