An intracranial aneurysm associated with a recurrent meningioma--a case report.
A patient presented with late onset seizure due to sphenoid ridge meningioma excision, during a craniotomy. Nine years after craniotomy, sphenoid ridge meningioma recurred in this patient along with middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm. Peripheral intracranial aneurysm has been shown to be caused by many etiologies. But a direct relationship to an intracranial neoplasm is extremely rare. A causal relationship between the growth of the tumor and the development of the aneurysm is postulated.
