title: Development of intracranial meningiomas at the site of cranial fractures. Remarks on 15 cases.
abstract: The authors present a retrospective study of 15 patients with post-traumatic intracranial meningioma. The 15 cases were selected according to the criteria specified in the relevant literature. Assessment of clinical characteristics in these patients seems to confirm that in some cases head trauma may be a factor contributing to the development of meningioma.
