Supratentorial multiple little meningiomas with transitory stroke symptoms like: MRI case presentation

Abstract

We present the case of a 45 years patient explored by MRI, who had in the last three years more than 11 episodes of left or right sensitive hemiparesis, six of them associated with transitory aphasia. She was diagnosed with transitory ischemic attacks in both carotids arteries and treated with specific drugs, although she has no vascular risk factors. The two cerebral CT exams were in normal limits. The surprise came from MRI exam images, which disclosed two little meningiomas placed on the convexity, at the level of both parietal lobes. The conclusion was that all symptoms probably were produced by them, due the hemodynamic local tumoral modifications.
