Posttraumatic intracranial meningiomas: recognition by computed tomography in three cases

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1979 Feb;3(1):103-4.

Abstract

Intracranial meningiomas were detected by computed tomography (CT) in three patients who had suffered previous head trauma 40, 10, and 3 years before. In two of the patients, the meningioma was located at the site of the traumatic impact and lesion. Meningiomas should be considered one of the late posttraumatic sequelae that can be recognized by CT.
