Abstract:
Cerebral edema associated with meningiomas is a rather common phenomenon. A patient with a small meningioma presented with severe cerebral edema, out of proportion to the size of the tumor. During surgery the meningioma was removed and the adjacent edematous brain tissue biopsied. The histopathoiogical study showed conspicuous plasma cell and lymphocyte infiltration in both the tumor and the cerebral edematous tissue. The pathological findings are presented, and the possible mechanism for cerebral edema associated with meningioma is discussed.
