Abstract
We report one case of radio-induced meningiomas revealed by an intracr anial hypertension in an 46 year-old woman. A history of cephalic irra diation during infancy for a vascular nevus, not spontaneously reporte d by the patient, had been discovered because of the association with a radio-induced cataract. Meningiomas are a rare, severe and late comp lication of cephalic radiotherapy. The history of irradiation is nor a lways spontaneously reported by the patient.
