[Combined appearance of an intracranial and spinal meningioma in a case of Recklinghausen's disease].
In a young man with Recklinghausen's disease a large dextral wing-of-sphenoid meningioma and a spinal meningioma were extirpated at an interval of one month. A couple of months later further interventions were necessary because of a bilateral acoustic neurinoma. The patient's mother had multiple intracranial meningiomas and also a bilateral acoustic neurinoma. The medical history of the patient is reported. Also discussed are problems associated with the diagnosis of the spinal meningioma.
