“…The mechanism of bleeding related to meningioma is unclear, as revealed by various suggestions. These include compensatorily enlarged feeding blood vessels with weakening and rupture of walls, 23 cerebral edema and obstruction of veins leading to hemorrhagic infarct, 30 , 36 excessive blood vessels forming an angiomatous com‐ponent with bleeding tendency, 31 , 39 , 44 , 47 , 58 , 62 stretching and rupture of blood vessels such as of subdural bridging veins by the expanding meningioma, 6 direct vascular invasion by the tumor cells, 20 , 44 , 52 , 59 trauma to the head, 6 , 27 , 67 effects of therapeutic embolization in order to diminish operative hemorrhage, 70 , 72 , 86 and aspirin prophylaxis in transient cerebral ischemia 92 . Endothelial hyperplasia leading to obliteration of a vessel and distal necrosis of its wall with consequent bleeding was also hypothesized 41 , 44 .…”
