Massive cerebral edema associated with meningioma
Summary
Severe cerebral edema in meningioma is unpredictable. Our findings suggest spontaneous hemorrhage into the tumor may be the cause, impacting patient presentation and diagnosis.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neurosurgery
- Oncology
Background:
- Cerebral edema is a known complication of malignant astrocytoma and metastatic brain tumors.
- Cerebral edema associated with meningioma is less frequent, unpredictable, and sometimes disproportionate to tumor size.
