Abstract:
The authors report a case of malignant meningioma presented with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH). The 65-year-old woman presented with sudden severe headache and vomiting. She suffered from diabetes mellitus and hypertension for 3 years. Neurologic examination showed left hemiparesis and homonymous hemianopsia. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance images revealed hematoma in variable stages with surrounding edema in right parieto-occipital area. Cerebral angiogrpahy showed no vascular lesion. Under the impression of hypertensive ICH, total removal of mass was done. Histologic diagnosis was malignant meningioma with hemorrhage. Malignant meningioma presented with ICH is lacking in previous report. Prtinent literature review of meningioma presenting with hemorrhage is also performed.
