    Author: Roux-Vaillard S, Mercier P, Fournier HD, Hayek G, Menei P, Guy G.
    Journal: Neurochirurgie; 1999 Dec; 45(5):407-12. PubMed ID: 10717592.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of meningioma revealed by hemorrage are reported. The first patient, 65 presented with a temporal hematoma associated with intraventricular contamination. The diagnosis of a tumoral origin of the hemorrhage was made only few weeks later when the total hematoma resorption was ended. The second patient, 49 presented with a sudden right hemiplegia. CTscan and MRI revealed a left frontal tumor surrounded by hematoma. The third patient, 46, presented with a transient aphasia and superior limb dysesthesia. CT scan showed a temporal hematoma; a carotid angiography revealed a typical meningioma blush. A review of the literature collected 54 additional cases of meningioma associated with hemorrage. Clinical findings and mechanisms are discussed.
