Abstract
- Meningioma is third common intracranial tumor and different from meningiomatosis and multiple meningiomas. Multiple meningiomas without the stigma of Von Recklinghausen's disease are rare. The incidence of multiple meningiomas is higher in post CT era which reported about 8.9% by Lusins et al than reported previousely about 1-3%. The cause of multiplicity is unknown but the possible cause of the higher incidence and various theories of the etiology of multiple meningiomas are explored by literature review. We reported the rare case of multiple meningiomas, which diagnosed by CT scan and confirmed by operation and follow up checked in OPD.
