  • Title: Meningiomas after radiation-therapy for benign astrocytomas.
    Author: Martínez-Lage J, Ros de San Pedro J, Martínez-Pérez M, Poza M.
    Journal: Neurocirugia (Astur); 2005 Jun; 16(3):266-70; discussion 270. PubMed ID: 16007326.
    Abstract:
    A 4.5 year-old-girl was submitted to subtotal removal of a benign astrocytoma of the left temporal lobe with basal ganglia extension and given radiotherapy. At age 27, she was found to harbor a right posterior frontal meningioma that was totally removed. A recurrence of the right convexity meningioma was again excised after a 4-year interval. The authors report this case to illustrate the possibility of the appearance of radiation-induced meningiomas after an interval of 22 years and briefly discuss 16 previous reports on this occurrence in benign astrocytomas.
