Olfactory groove meningioma and multiple aneurysms. Case report

Acta Neurol (Napoli). 1992 Feb;14(1):1-5.

Abstract

We report a case of a patient with olfactory groove meningioma associated with multiple aneurysms. The association between intracranial aneurysms and meningiomas is infrequent and perhaps it is due to chance alone; many theories have been formulated to explain it. In the cases with both lesions, meningiomas are more frequently located at level of the convexity while aneurysms are more often located at level of the anterior cerebral-anterior communicating artery complex or at level of the middle cerebral artery.
