MENINGIOANGIOMATOSIS AND OLIGODENDROGLIOMA IN A 15-YEAR-OLD BOY

A case of meningioangiomatosis occurring in a 15-year-old boy is repor ted. The patient did not show signs of neurofibromatosis on physical e xamination, and his medical history included only one previous episode of loss of consciousness, which was accompanied by a self-limited foc al seizure. The lesion was associated with an oligodendroglioma and wa s incidentally discovered during the macroscopic sampling of the neuro surgical specimen. The literature relating to this uncommon entity is reviewed and discussed. To the best of our knowledge, the concurrence of meningioangiomatosis and oligodendroglioma has not been documented previously.
