We presented a case of 39-year-old man who was incidentally found an intracranial mass at the time of physical check up. He had no complaints. Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies revealed a falx meningioma with ossification in the left parieto-occipital resion. Cerebral angiography revealed feeding artery from right middle meningeal artery through falx cerebri. He was underwent surgery via occipital interhemispheric approach. Ossified part of the tumor was removed by scratch and away method using ultrasonic aspirator. Histologically, the tumor type was transitional meningioma. Although stability of the tumor was not good on operation because the tumor attached to falx cerebri, we could remove the tumor safely by using ultrasonic aspirator.
