Multiple meningiomas: case report and review of the literature

A case of a 69 year old woman with multiple meningiomas is presented. Since her first presentation with Jacksonian seizures in 1978, she has had 16 meningiomas excised in seven separate surgical procedures. This is extremely unusual due to both the large number of tumours, and the long period over w...

Zusammenfassung:	A case of a 69 year old woman with multiple meningiomas is presented. Since her first presentation with Jacksonian seizures in 1978, she has had 16 meningiomas excised in seven separate surgical procedures. This is extremely unusual due to both the large number of tumours, and the long period over which they have occurred. We review the epidemiology, possible pathogenesis and genetic associations of this condition.
