Meningioma recurrence at a different site masquerading as a subdural hematoma. Case report

J Neurosurg. 1999 Sep;91(3):496-8. doi: 10.3171/jns.1999.91.3.0496.

Abstract

It is unusual for a meningioma to recur at a distant site. It is more unusual for a meningioma to present as a subdural hematoma. The authors report a unique case in which both of these events occurred in the same patient during a 4-year period. The authors discuss the pathogenesis of these rare events with regard to meningiomas.
