Abstract
- Meningiomas is the usually slow-growing lesions that present either with vague nonlocalizing symptoms or with focal findings referable to compression of underlying brain. Cerebral infarction by meningiomas is unusual, especially as the initial presentation in a patient, and association with sudden death is extremely rare. The authors report the clinical, radiological and pathological findings in a case of cerebral infarction caused by thrombosis of the right middle cerebral artery following direct compression of a right temporal lobe meningioma. A 48-year-old woman developed a history of sudden neurologic deterioration, and shortly after she died. CT showed a large cerebral infarction in the right lobe. Autopsy revealed a right temporal lobe meningioma associated with right middle cerebral artery thrombosis, which made a large cerebral infarction.
