title: Meningioma as an incidental finding in an intensive care unit.
abstract: A report on two hypotensive episodes secondary to post-operative haemorrhage is presented. Recovery was complicated by prolonged coma and a frontal meningioma was eventually discovered. The possible aetiology of this coma is discussed. Intracranial pathology should be suspected when coma persists on the intensive care unit.
