BACKGROUND: Malignant intraventricular meningiomas are quite rare and may spread along the craniospinal axis or extraneurally. However, simultaneous cerebrospinal dissemination and distal extraneural metastasis has seldom been reported.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 51-year-old woman presented with recurrent anaplastic meningioma in the trigone of right lateral ventricle over a 1.5-year period. Suggested radiotherapy was refused after each operation. The patient showed a local relapse and dissemination around the previous tumoral cavity and along the spinal canal during the last recurrence. Left pulmonary metastasis was also found. She died despite multiple lesion resections.
CONCLUSIONS: Malignant intraventricular meningiomas are an uncommon subset of intracranial meningiomas, and have a great potential for intraneural and extraneural metastasis. Systemic investigation for metastasis is required after surgery, especially for those without adjuvant therapies.
