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.

Although some previous papers reported correlation with brain tumor and migraine, as example of arteriovenous malformation or angioma, migraine associated with meningioma is very rare.

Headache. 1991;31(10):661-5.
Case reports of three headache patients, two with intracerebral meningioma and one with hydrocephalus are presented, in whom the clinical picture fulfilled the criteria of the International Headache Society (IHS) for the diagnosis of migraine.

Meningioma and the ophthalmologist: diagnostic pitfalls.
Anderson D, Khalil MK.
Can J Ophthalmol. 1981;16(1):10-5.
The last patient had an occipital meningioma that had caused a fixed homonymous field defect and many years of "classic migraine".

Meningioma and the ophthalmologist: diagnostic pitfalls.
Anderson D, Khalil MK.
Can J Ophthalmol. 1981;16(1):10-5.
Two other patients had large frontal meningiomas causing in one case unilateral pain and swelling of the upper lid plus ptosis and hypotropia, and in the other case bilateral frontal morning headaches and intermittent blurring of vision in one eye; they were thought to have a frontal lobe osteoma and migraine respectively.
