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.

Encephalocele

A neural tube defect characterized by sac-like protrusions of the brain and the membranes that cover it through openings in the skull.

It is suggested that the mechanisms behind the formation of this encephalocele are a combination of a congenital malformation and the long term increase of the intracranial pressure due to the meningioma.
