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.

Massive cerebral edema associated with meningioma.
Jagadha V, Deck JH.
Can J Neurol Sci. 1987;14(1):55-8.
It is stressed that though a decidedly rare complication, cerebral edema secondary to meningioma should be entertained in the differential diagnosis of acute neurologic deterioration of these patients.

Massive cerebral edema associated with meningioma.
Jagadha V, Deck JH.
Can J Neurol Sci. 1987;14(1):55-8.
Though far less frequent, the association of cerebral edema with meningioma is also recognized; this is unpredictable and sometimes out of proportion to tumour size.
