“…Wakai et al [ 2 ] reported the incidence of meningioma with the sign of hemorrhage in pathologic study as 1.3%, but clinically symptomatic hemorrhages are supposed to be much more uncommon [ 1 , 3 ]. Two large study of meningiomas by Cushing et al and Hoessly et al looked at 313 and 280 cases, respectively, and none of the cases showed clinically significant hemorrhage at presentation [ 6 , 7 ].…”

Meningiomas are the most common benign intracranial tumors and make up 13-26% of all primary intracranial tumors. Clinical presentation of hemorrhage is rare in these tumors occurring in approximately 1.3% of cases and subdural hemorrhages are even more uncommon. The mechanism of hemorrhage is still unclear and may vary according to histologic type, location and the type of hemorrhage. We experienced a case of 61-year-old woman with a benign meningioma presenting as a subdural hemorrhage. She developed sudden onset of headache right after aggressively coughing. Her headache persisted for a week before she was admitted to the emergency room of National Cancer Center. She had a past medical history of ovarian cancer which had been treated and was allegedly recurrence-free for 2 years. At the time of admission, a headache was the only symptom and imaging studies showed a right frontal hemorrhagic subdural mass lesion accompanying an ipsilateral subdural hematoma. Elective surgery was performed and intraoperative findings revealed the hallmark characteristics of a meningioma with mixed stage diffuse subdural hematoma. Permanent pathology result determined it was a conventional meningioma (World Health Organization grade I). From this case, we discuss the rare presentation of subdural hemorrhage in meningioma and related points by reviewing the literature of previous studies.

“…Meningiomas causing intraventricular hemorrhage are infrequent. [5][6][7] Most of these tumors arise in the lateral ventricle, and > 90% occur in the trigone. Reviewing the literature, we found 10 cases of sphenoid wing meningiomas presenting with hemorrhage.…”

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com offers to the neurosurgeons the opportunity to make precisely the diagnosis, and guide their surgical approaches. Meticulous and rational planning enable complete removal of these usually benign tumors, offering permanent cure and long term survival. This paper will discuss clinical, radiological findings, and surgical management of this pathological entity, through 2 cases of IVM managed in our neurosurgery department. First caseA 17 years old female, presented with increasing intracranial pressure syndrome, severe headache, vomiting, and papillary oedema grade1. The patient was without any sensory or motor deficit. The CT and MRI shows a huge intraventricular lesion located in the occipital Horne of the right lateral ventricle ( Figure 1). The patient underwent a ventricular shunting, and the tumor was excised in a second time. The removal was complete using a temporo parietal approach, and the post operative status was stable, with improvement of the headache. The histological exam indicates a fibroblastic meningioma (Figure 2). Second caseA 15 years old girl, consulting for severe headache, with vomiting, and diplopia. The physical examination shows no motor or sensory deficit, and right 6 th nerve pulsy, with papillary oedema grade 2. CT and MRI show a very large intraventricular tumor, located at the right lateral ventricle (Figure 3 & 4). The patient underwent ventricular shunting, and the tumor was removed in a second time. The excision was total using a temporo parietal approach, and the post operative status was simple, with improvement of the headache. The histological exam indicates a fibroblastic meningioma too. AbstractIntraventricular meningiomas IVM, make up 0,5-3% of all intracranial meningiomas, and represent one of the most challenging tumors in neurosurgery. Being initially asymptomatic usually attains a large size before detection. we review through 2 cases of IVM managed in our neurosurgery department, the clinical, radiological and evolutionary features of these lesions.
