[A case of multiple intracranial meningiomas].

A case of a 58-year old woman in whom two meningiomas were discovered and removed successfully is presented. One of the meningiomas belonged to tentorial meningioma and was localized in the posterior fossa, compressing the right cerebellar hemisphere and fourth ventricle and finally producing obstructive hydrocephalus. The second was parasagittal meningioma and was localized in the frontal region on the left side. The patient was operated in two stages--first ventricular drainage was applied and posterior fossa meningioma was successfully removed totally with coagulation of the dural attachment. In the second stage, one month after the first operation parasagittal meningioma was removed totally, dural attachment was thoroughly coagulated. The patient had a good outcome is self dependent and able to carry on normal activity.
