This study details a rare case of multiple meningiomas in a young child affecting the brain, eye socket, and spine. The patient, the youngest reported without neurofibromatosis, underwent successful surgical removal of all tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Multiple meningiomas are rare tumors, typically occurring in adults.
  • Neurofibromatosis is a known risk factor for developing multiple meningiomas.
  • Simultaneous intracranial, intraorbital, and spinal meningiomas are exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • A 4-year, 5-month-old boy presented with multiple meningiomas.
  • Lesions were identified in the intracranial, intraorbital, and spinal compartments.
  • The patient had no history of neurofibromatosis.

Findings:

  • All identified meningioma lesions were surgically excised.
  • Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of meningiomas for all excised lesions.
  • This case represents the youngest reported patient with multiple meningiomas unrelated to neurofibromatosis.

Implications:

  • Highlights the possibility of multiple meningiomas in pediatric patients without genetic predisposition.
  • Emphasizes the importance of thorough diagnostic evaluation for pediatric patients presenting with central nervous system or spinal tumors.
  • Contributes to the understanding of atypical meningioma presentations and their management in young children.
