A rare case of multiple supratentorial brain lesions due to meningiomatosis.

Meningeal tumors represent the most common primary central nervous system tumors. The term "multiple meningiomas" or "meningiomatosis" refers to the occurrence of 2 or more spatially separated meningiomas without the features of neurofibromatosis. Meningiomatosis accounts for only less than 10% of all cases and is more prevalent in women. We report a rare case of a 53-year-old female patient complaining of a headache characterized by a throbbing pain in the right side of the head. Neurological examination was largely normal, with the exception of a slight weakening of the right extremity. Multiple brain masses, due to meningiomatosis, were revealed upon CT scan and MRI. Subsequent tissue biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of meningothelial meningiomas.
