Abstract
Background:
Giant intracranial aneurysms cause symptoms due to mass effect and can mimic other lesions in imaging studies. The coexistence of tumors and aneurysms is relatively rare, with meningiomas being the predominant tumors found in such cases. The relationship between these two entities is complex and represent a neurosurgical challenge.
Case Description:
A 61-year-old woman presented with intermittent headache, vertigo, right peripheral facial palsy, hearing loss, and left hemiparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed two lesions: a supratentorial paraclinoid lesion in the left frontotemporal region and a right infratentorial extra-axial mass, suggestive of a meningioma. The patient underwent a two-staged surgical intervention to address both lesions.
Conclusion:
In this particular case, the lesions were located on different sides and in different cranial compartments, making it even rarer.
