Multiple intracranial meningiomas associated with intracranial arterial aneurysm.
This report illustrates a patient who was found to harbor eight separate meningiomas associated with an intracranial arterial aneurysm. Five of the meningiomas were extirpated and the aneurysm was wrapped. The causality between multiple meningiomas and aneurysm is obscure. Although the introduction of CT has facilitated the diagnosis of multiple meningiomas there are however areas especially in the base of the skull and high parasagittally where small meningiomas may remain undetected.
