Abstract
A case if a 69 year old woman with multiple meningiomas is presented. Since
her first presentation with Jacksonian seizures in 1978, she has had 16 me
ningiomas excised in seven separate surgical procedures. This is extremely
unusual due to both the large number of tumours, and the long period over w
hich they have occurred. We review the epidemiology, possible pathogenesis
and genetic associations of this condition. (C) 2000 Harcourt Publishers Lt
