“…Intracranial neoplasms accompanying spontaneous hemorrhage are accounting for 1.4% to 10% of all intracranial neoplasms, among them, the intratumoral hemorrhage of meningioma is extremely rare (only 0.5%–2.4%). [ 3 ] Meanwhile, the extracranial metastasis of benign meningioma is particularly rare [ 2 ] , and clinical information including radiological and pathological features of its extracranial metastasis are not well characterized. Therefore, our case was unusual since it was a primary meningioma with intratumoral bleeding and presented lung metastases simultaneously.…”

“…Besides, a few kinds of meningiomas can release vaso-active substances, resulting in vasodilatation and tumoral hemorrhage. [ 3 ] Similarly, it is still not completely understood about the mechanisms of extracranial metastasis of meningiomas. The proposed ways of extracranial spread includes metastasis via the venous system, lymphatics or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).…”

“…[ 2 ] Intratumoral hemorrhage of meningioma is also uncommon. [ 3 ] However, to the best of our knowledge, concurrent occurrence of intratumoral hemorrhage and distal metastases with meningioma has seldom been reported. This report aimed to describe the clinical features and imaging findings of 1 case with lung metastases from intracranial bleeding meningioma.…”

Rationale:Meningioma is slow-growing benign neoplasm that derived from the meningothelial cells of the arachnoid mater, and it is the most common type of primary brain tumor. Although cases of extracranial metastatic meningioma have been reported previously, few cases have reported the concurrent occurrence of primary meningioma with intratumoral bleeding and lung metastases. Here we report a case of meningioma with concurrent intratumoral bleeding and lung metastases.Patient concerns:The patient was admitted to our hospital with sudden left limb paralysis combined with complaints of headache and dizziness.Diagnoses:Histopathological results confirmed the lung metastases derived from intracranial bleeding meningioma.Interventions:The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain and computed tomography (CT) of brain and lung were performed.Outcomes:CT and MRI of brain showed an intracranial mass associated with intratumoral hemorrhage. Then, multiple lung metastases were observed in the right lung via CT images. The intracranial mass was excised through craniotomy firstly, and a thoracoscopic biopsy was performed 1 month later. The patient was hospitalized again after 1 year because of suddenly epilepsy and received effective symptomatic treatment until symptoms were relieved. Then the patient is lost to follow-up.Lessons:When meningiomas occurred nearby venous sinuses with aggressive behavior, a careful whole-body examination is recommended in order to find distant metastasis as early as possible.

“…They commonly comprise high-vascularizing but slow-growing tumors [5,7]. However, spontaneous hemorrhage, often subarachnoid, subdural, intratumoral, or intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), is an infrequent event (0.5 % − 2.4 %) [1,2,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. An onset mimicking acute stroke such as cerebrovascular accident is even more rare [3,4,9,10].…”

Background Meningiomas are the most common benign intracranial tumors, and commonly comprise high-vascularizing but slow-growing tumors. On the other hand, meningiomas arising from the ventricular system are of rare occurrence, and spontaneous hemorrhage is an infrequent event. Case presentation We describe here the rare clinical manifestations of a 28-year-old female with acute intracranial hemorrhage located in the trigone of the lateral ventricle who was initially thought to have suffered an acute cerebrovascular accident, but was subsequently confirmed to have a benign intraventricular meningioma. To clarify the clinical features of such a rare course of meningioma, we also present a short literature review of acute intracranial hemorrhage caused by intraventricular meningioma. Conclusions Ventricular meningioma presenting with hemorrhage such as acute stroke is a rare event, but recognition of such a pathogenesis is important. Although further accumulation of clinical data is needed, we suggest that early surgery should be undertaken in patients with lateral ventricular meningioma, even if it is not so large or asymptomatic.

“…Although meningiomas are frequently vascular tumors, benign intracranial meningiomas do not typically hemorrhage. The incidence of hemorrhage associated with all types of intracranial meningiomas is in the 0.5%-2.4% range [1][2][3]. However, intracranial meningiomas with hemorrhagic presentation are associated with higher rates of overall major morbidity (36%) and mortality (21.1%) [2].…”

Meningiomas are slowly growing benign tumors. The incidence of hemorrhage associated with intracranial meningiomas is in the 0.5%-2.4% range. However, intracranial meningiomas with hemorrhagic presentation are associated with higher rates of overall major morbidity (36%) and mortality (21.1%). We report a case of a convexity meningioma presenting with intraparenchymal hematoma and bilateral acute subdural hematomas (SDH) in a comatose patient (Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score: 7) who had a history of recurrent episodes of headaches over the past few months. Hemorrhagic presentation of a meningioma is a rare but potentially devastating event. Early recognition of the potential underlying meningioma as a cause of bleeding followed by rapid appropriate additional imaging is crucial to direct treatment plans to achieve the best outcome.
