[Growth of intracranial meningiomas after trauma. A case report].
A case is described of intracranial meningioma development in a woman aged 69 who had craniotomy 28 years earlier. The meningioma grew at the site of previous craniotomy. Documented cases from the literature are quoted in which craniocerebral trauma was unequivocally related to meningioma development, although the coincidence of trauma with meningioma is still controversial.
