Abstract:
Meningiomas are one of the most common primary intracranial tumors known to exist since pre-historic times. Most of these tumors are benign, sporadic, and solitary. Multiple meningiomas are rare and have mostly been described in patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). The presence of multiple lesions poses a unique challenge in strategizing the treatment. We present a rare case of multiple intracranial meningiomas in the absence of NF2, which we treated at Tata Main Hospital, Jamshedpur. The relevant literature has also been discussed.
Insights
Multiple meningiomas, rare brain tumors, present unique treatment challenges. This case study details managing multiple intracranial meningiomas without neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2).
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Oncology
- Neuropathology
Background:
- Meningiomas are common primary intracranial tumors, typically benign and solitary.
- Multiple meningiomas are rare, often associated with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2).
- The presence of multiple lesions complicates treatment strategies.
Observation:
- A rare case of multiple intracranial meningiomas is presented.
- The patient did not have neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2).
- The case was treated at Tata Main Hospital, Jamshedpur.
Findings:
- Successful management of multiple intracranial meningiomas in a patient without NF2.
- Demonstrates feasibility of treatment in non-syndromic multiple meningiomas.
- Literature review on rare cases of multiple meningiomas.
Implications:
- Highlights the importance of considering non-NF2 related multiple meningiomas.
- Provides insights into treatment approaches for rare tumor presentations.
- Contributes to understanding the diverse etiology of multiple meningiomas.
