Association between intracranial meningiomas and aneurysms: is it a coincidence?
 
Document Language : English 
Abstract : Intracranial aneurysms and meningiomas are rarely associated. We review the concerned literature, and report a patient operated for an anterior artery communicating aneurysm found at surgery to harbour a small ipsilateral meningioma at the lesser wing of the sphenoid. We also review the proposed causes of such an association. Factors related to the meningioma are usually thought to be behind the development of associated aneurysms. Considering the size of the meningioma in our patient, we believe that both lesions form concomitantly under the effect of certain genetic or systemic factors, influenced by local circulatory changes. These factors are to be determined with more basic science research
