Tumori. 2003 Jan-Feb;89(1):6-8. doi: 10.1177/030089160308900102.

Abstract

The authors present 20 cases of likely post-traumatic intracranial meningiomas selected according to the conditions specified in the relevant literature. The relationship between head injury and subsequent development of meningioma remains a controversial and fascinating subject. The etiopathogenetic mechanisms and clinical features of our patients and those of the literature are discussed.
