Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage Secondary to a Parasagittal Meningioma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Meningiomas are the most prevalent tumors within the central nervous system, with most exhibiting benign characteristics. While they are often discovered incidentally, their growth can lead to symptoms such as headaches, visual changes, dizziness, and seizures. Intratumoral hemorrhage (ITH) within meningiomas is a rare occurrence. This phenomenon carries a poor prognosis, as evidenced by significant rates of morbidity and mortality. This case report describes a unique case of a 52-year-old male who experienced a spontaneous right parietal lobe intracerebral hemorrhage adjacent to the superior sagittal sinus. Subsequent investigations revealed this to be an ITH due to an underlying WHO-grade I meningioma. This case emphasizes that while ITH in meningiomas is rare, prompt recognition and surgical intervention ensure optimal patient outcomes.
