“…Fine and Gonski reported the coexistence of an intraventricular oligodendroglioma and a right parietal arteriovenous malformation (AVM), and there has since been over 50 cases reported [ 5 ]. Some of these cases have been meningiomas and the question has arisen as to whether this is a chance association or whether there may be a causal relationship given that the lesions are often in close spatial proximity [ 6 , 7 ]. This case report might lend some support to this hypothesis given the relatively close proximity of a left posterior frontal parafalcine meningioma and a left parietal AVM.…”

The occurrence of a primary brain tumour in association with a cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a recognized but rarely reported finding. A 56-year-old female presented following a single tonic clonic seizure. Radiological investigations revealed a left posterior frontal parafalcine meningioma and a left parietal AVM. Both were uneventfully resected. Whether there is a causal relationship is unproven, however, this case report might lend some support to this hypothesis given the relatively close proximity of the two lesions.

Intracranial meningioma with concomitant cavernous malformation has been rarely described in the literature. This study aimed to investigate the correct neurosurgical conduct. Patients and Methods: We retrieved clinical and radiological data for 39 outpatients or patients that underwent surgery (mean age: 60 years; n = 25 females) for a single or multiple meningiomas and concomitant single or multiple cavernous malformations. Cavernous malformations were classified according to Zabramski's type scale. Our results were compared to results published in the literature. Results: All patients had at least one meningioma and at least one concomitant cavernous malformation. Most meningiomas and cavernous malformations were located in the supratentorial region. Nine patients (23 %) had multiple meningiomas and nine had concomitant multiple cavernous malformations. Cavernous malformations were classified as type I (n = 0), type II (n = 9), type III (n = 11), or type IV (n = 19). The surgical priority was meningioma removal. A single patient underwent simultaneous removal of a meningioma and a contiguous cavernous malformation. In the postoperative period and long term follow-up, no complications occurred related to cavernous malformations, intra-or extra-lesional bleeding, or morphology/size changes. Years after surgical treatment, a new type IV cavernous malformation occurred in two patients. Conclusion:Our findings corroborate that meningioma removal should take priority in patients with intracranial meningioma and concomitant cavernous malformation. Concomitant cavernous malformations showed no change in morphology or size; therefore, they should merely be observed during follow-up. In patients that harbor a single meningioma, a type IV cavernous malformation should preferably be considered a concomitant cerebral microbleed.
