    Abstract:
    Gross intracranial hemorrhage associated with brain tumor has been reported to range from 3.6-10%. Brain metastases and malignant glioma are the most frequent underlying pathologies. Intracranial hemorrhage related to meningioma is a rare condition. Subarachnoid hemorrhage, acute subdural hematoma, intratumoral and intraparenchymal hematomas are the most common forms of bleeding associated with meningioma. By contrast, chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) and intraventricular hemorrhage are seen less frequently. The authors report a very rare case of left fronto-parietal convexity meningioma associated with bilateral cSDH in a patient with history of recent minor head trauma and review the literature on hemorrhage associated with meningiomas.
