Abstract
It is unusual for a meningioma to recur at a distant site. It is more unusu al for a meningioma to present as a subdural hematoma. The authors report a unique case in which both of these events occurred in the same patient dur ing a 4-year period. The authors discuss the pathogenesis of these rare eve nts with regard to meningiomas.
