title: Meningioangiomatosis and oligodendroglioma in a 15-year-old boy.
abstract: A case of meningioangiomatosis occurring in a 15-year-old boy is reported. The patient did not show signs of neurofibromatosis on physical examination, and his medical history included only one previous episode of loss of consciousness, which was accompanied by a self-limited focal seizure. The lesion was associated with an oligodendroglioma and was incidentally discovered during the macroscopic sampling of the neurosurgical specimen. The literature relating to this uncommon entity is reviewed and discussed. To the best of our knowledge, the concurrence of meningioangiomatosis and oligodendroglioma has not been documented previously.
