“…[23] Several articles in the literature attempted to explain this correlation using various hypotheses such as local hemodynamic, hormonal, and genetic factors and direct invasion of tumor cells to the vessel wall (considered a primary reason for this clinical coexistence). [4] e first mechanism of local hemodynamic factors is due to the body's physiology in maintaining constant cerebral blood pressure. erefore, when there is a tumor, more blood goes to the brain, leading to a chronic increase in arterial blood pressure.…”

“…Furthermore, references cited by the retrieved articles were thoroughly reviewed to search for additional articles. e included cases were analyzed according to these parameters: [9] 61/F [22] 72/F [4] 62/F (78%) cases. Out of nine cases, aneurysm and meningioma were found to be located in the midline in 67% (n = 6/9) of patients and ipsilaterally in 22% (n = 2/9) of patients.…”

“…However, different types of brain tumors, such as pituitary adenoma, glioma, meningioma, lipoma, or metastatic tumors, have been previously reported in association with ICAn by 0.3– 0.7% estimated incidence. [ 4 , 12 ] With increased utilization of diagnostic imaging, this incidence has increased to 2–5%. [ 5 ] Although ICAn is associated with many types of tumors, the coincidence is shown to be highest in patients with meningioma.…”

Background: Anterior communicating artery (Acom) aneurysm has an association with many types of intracranial lesions. However, its association with meningioma can be challenging, which is not well addressed in the literature. Herein, we described a literature review focused on the association between Acom aneurysm and meningioma, explicitly highlighting the spatial presence between these two pathologies. We analyzed the literature according to that association with particular emphasis on location-based challenges. Furthermore, we present an illustrative case of surgically treating both lesions in one surgery utilizing the same approach. Methods: A Medline database search was conducted by the following combined formula: (Meningioma [Title/ Abstract]) AND (Aneurysm [Title/Abstract]) AND (((Anterior communicating artery [Title/Abstract]) OR (Acom [Title/Abstract])) OR Acomm [Title/Abstract]))). Additional resources were added after screening the references of the included papers. Results: Nine patients with coexistence of Acom aneurysm and meningioma were found in the literature. The coexistence of both pathologies was found in seven females and two males. The presence of an aneurysm was found to be solitary in 66.67% (n = 6/9). Furthermore, meningioma was found to be an isolated lesion in all included cases, and in 22.2% (n = 2/9), they were located ipsilaterally. The location of the meningioma to the aneurysm seems to be in proximity. Conclusion: Acom aneurysm can coexist with intracranial meningioma; this association can be spatially related intracranially. Such coexistence entails a variety of nuances and challenges that neurosurgeons encounter during the management of these complex lesions.
