title: [Meningiomas of the lateral ventricles: a case report].
abstract: We describe the case of a patient with an intraventricular meningioma, which initially manifested as transient mental impairment. Meningiomas are slowly growing, bening tumours, which usually remain asymptomatic or show only insidious clinical manifestations for long periods. In our case the distinct localization of the tumor gives rise to a peculiar clinical picture, with special reference to the episodic nature of symptoms. In this case we want to remark the role of both the clinical and neuroradiological data in the diagnosis of this pathology.
