Association of venous angioma and atypical meningioma--case report

Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo). 1999 Sep;39(9):689-92. doi: 10.2176/nmc.39.689.

Abstract

A 67-year-old male presented with an atypical meningioma arising from the right tentorium associated with a venous angioma in the left cerebellar hemisphere. The venous angioma was detected incidentally during examinations for the brain tumor. The brain tumor was removed completely and the venous angioma followed conservatively. Venous angiomas associated with brain tumors should be followed conservatively, as the clinical significance and surgical indications are unclear.
