Meningioma

A rare, mostly benign, primary tumor of the meninges (arachnoid cap cells), usually located in the supratentorial compartment, commonly appearing in the sixth and seventh decade of life, clinically silent in most cases or causing hyperostosis close to the tumor and resulting in focal bulging and localized pain in less than 10% of cases. Additional features may include headache, seizures, gradual personality changes (apathy and dementia), anosmia, impaired vision, exophthalmos, hearing loss, ataxia, dysmetria, hypotonia, nystagmus, and rarely spontaneous bleeding.

Cataract

A cataract is an opacity or clouding that develops in the crystalline lens of the eye or in its capsule.

	The high incidence rate of cataracts and other associated tumours, such as those affecting paraspinal and cutaneous areas together with meningiomas, which up until now could have gone unnoticed, has also been observed.
