Abstract

The simultaneous occurrence of multiple meningiomas, multiple distally located cerebral aneurysms and numerous subcutaneous lipomata in a 48-year-old man is reported. There was no evidence of neurofibromatosis, connective tissue disease or abnormality of collagen synthesis. We propose a possible genetic link between these three disparate conditions in our patient.
