Multifocal meningioangiomatosis in a 3-year-old patient

Abstract

<jats:p>Meningioangiomatosis consists of benign hamartomatous lesions of the brain and the leptomeninges, which typically present with seizure. Management is predicated on resection and control of seizures with medication. Lesions are typically solitary. Multifocal meningioangiomatosis is extremely rare, with only 2 cases reported in adults and none in children. The authors report the first case, to their knowledge, of multifocal meningioangiomatosis in a child. This unique case highlights therapeutic challenges associated with these lesions and demonstrates that multifocality is possible in the pediatric population. This finding has implications for diagnosis and follow-up for children afflicted with these tumors.</jats:p>

Cystic meningioangiomatosis and cerebellar ependymoma in a child with neurofibromatosis type 2

“…4 ). These findings appear to closely parallel a case reported by Jamil et al., in which a 3-year-old girl underwent left frontotemporal craniotomy for left Sylvian fissure meningioangiomatosis [8] .…”

Sporadic meningioangiomatosis with and without meningioma: analysis of clinical differences and risk factors for poor seizure outcomes

“…Only 2 patients had MA recurrence after surgery of a total of 111 patients [33,39]. Seizure outcomes were followed up in 102 patients, with 89 (87.2 %) patients becoming seizure free (Engel I).…”

Pathomorphological Diagnostic Criteria for Focal Cortical Dysplasias and Other Common Epileptogenic Lesions—Review of the Literature

“…The MA is benign and surgically treatable, although resection can be complicated by the invasive character of the lesion [ 107 , 110 , 111 ].…”
