Abstract
A 46-year-old woman presented complaining of resting tremor of the rig ht arm and attacks of inappropriate crying and laughing. Computed tomo graphy and magnetic resonance imaging of the head revealed a large lef t sphenoid wing meningioma. Preoperative cerebral angiography demonstr ated a persistent stapedial artery, terminating as a middle meningeal artery which was the main blood supply to the tumour.
