A previously healthy 31-year-old man presented with an extremely rare case of small meningioma associated with cerebral infarction preceded by recurrent transient ischemic attacks manifesting as a 3-day history of recurrent and transient weakness of the left lower limb lasting several minutes for each episode. The symptoms became persistent and complete on the following day. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed acute cerebral infarction in the right frontal lobe and a 20 mm diameter tumor in the planum sphenoidale encasing the right anterior cerebral artery. Cerebral angiography demonstrated occlusion of the right A 2 portion. The patient underwent surgery and the tumor was gross totally removed. The histological diagnosis was meningothelial meningioma. Cases of meningioma causing cerebral infarction are very rare, but the possibility should be considered even if the tumor is small.

“…Commonly reported clinical manifestations of ONSM include ipsilateral visual loss, afferent pupillary defect, colour vision disturbance, visual field defect, proptosis, optic disc oedema, motility disturbance, pain, and lower eyelid oedema [14]. Patients have symptoms of gradual or rapid visual loss, diplopia, or gaze-evoked visual obscurations [1,13,15]. Ophthalmoscopic examination may reveal optic nerve head swelling, contiguous macular oedema, nerve pallor, or choroidal folds.…”

Unilateral optic disc swelling as a first sign of optic nerve sheath meningioma — a case report

2018

Optic nerve sheath meningiomas (ONSM) are rare, slow-growing, benign tumours, which constitute approximately 2% of all orbital tumours of the anterior visual pathway (or orbital or anterior visual pathway) and 1-2% of all meningiomas. Middle-aged females are primarily affected. Untreated ONSMs usually lead to progressive visual decline, colour blindness, and finally complete loss of vision. Surgical excision may result in blindness in the affected eye. Stereotactic fractionated radiotherapy has recently shown effectiveness in improving or stabilising remaining visual function with minimal procedural morbidity in patients with ONSM. We present a case of a 59-year-old female with unilateral optic nerve sheath meningioma treated with stereotactic fractionated radiotherapy. During eight months of follow-up we observed persistent oedema of the right optic disc and full visual acuity. Optical coherence tomography showed decreased peripapillary nerve fibre layer.

“…Transient tumor attacks (TTA) are reversible neurological deficits similar to transient ischemic attacks (TIA) secondary to intracranial tumors. These symptoms usually occur with supra tentorial tumors especially meningiomas [1]. Due to their slow growth and the ability of the brain to accommodate the increase in intracranial pressure meningiomas are more likely to be associated with TTA.…”

Transient tumor attacks (TTA) are reversible neurological deficits similar to transient ischemic attacks (TIA) secondary to intracranial tumors especially supra tentorial tumors like meningiomas. A 55-year-old right-handed Caucasian woman was brought into emergency department with sudden onset of right lower extremity weakness. Neurological exam revealed a weakness of 2/5 in right lower extremity. Head computer tomography revealed a left frontal large extra axial mass consistent with meningioma. Her symptoms resolved in 2 hours. Vascular imaging and cardiac workup was within normal limits. She was started on high dose steroids and prophylactic antiepileptic medication. Surgical resection of the meningioma was performed with no recurrence of TIA.
