Intracranial and spinal multiple meningioma appearing after an interval of 22 years.
Multiple meningioma is a rare condition which usually occurs in one compartment of the neuraxis. Multiple meningiomas in different neuraxial compartments are an even rarer condition with only a few cases reported in the literature. We describe a case of a 72-year-old woman who developed a parietal meningioma and 22 years later a spinal meningioma. Both tumours were successfully removed.
