ABSTRACT
Clivus meningioma is an uncommon tumour arising from the region of the synchrondrosis between the basal portions of the sphenoid and occipital bones. We report a case of a patient with a large meningioma of the clivus whose presenting symptom was auditory change. Alteration of hearing is a rare mode of presentation for such a tumour although it may present at a later stage in about 50 per cent of cases. The discrepancy between the size of the tumour and the paucity of physical findings, the value of a multiple test auditory screening strategy, and the surgical approach in this case are discussed.
