Radiation-induced meningioma with a long latency period : a case report
Multiple meningiomas were diagnosed in a 43-year-old man previously treated with high-dose craniospinal radiotherapy at the age of 7 years for medulloblastoma. We suggest that surveillance MRI after high-dose craniospinal radiotherapy should be extended to several (3-5) decades.
