Multiple frontal meningioma.

- Abstract
We report on the case of 71-year-old woman who had been experiencing pancephalic headache, progressive cognitive decline, and vague behavioural changes for few years. The family denied seizures. Her brain imaging revealed the presence of two frontal lobe meningiomas. One was typically benign-looking and located within the left frontal convexity. The other one was at the left frontal convexity and was surrounded by marked oedema; the appearance of the latter is consistent with secretory meningioma. The patient did not demonstrate any risk factors for multiple meningioma formation. She was illiterate and lived in a village near the Iraq-Iran border; this explained her relatively late presentation. To the best of our knowledge, this combination of two radiologically different meningiomas has never been reported in the pertinent medical literature.
