Abstract
- Meningioangiomatosis is a rare, benign, focal lesion of the leptomeninges and underlying cerebral cortex, characterized by leptomeningeal and meningovascular proliferation. It may be presented as isolated, sporadic form and rarely associated with neurofibromatosis type II. Medically refractory, localization-related epilepsy is the most common presentation in sporadic cases. We report a 49-year-old man presented with intractable complex partial seizures was diagnosed with sporadic form of meningioangiomatosis. The anterior temporal lobectomy with amygdalo-hippocampectomy was performed and he was seizure-free for one year.
