Abstract

The coincidence of various brain tumors and a cerebral arterial aneurysm is unusual. A case of meningioma of the planum sphenoidale associated with an aneurysm of anterior communicating artery is presented. The pertinent literature is reviewed, and the etiological factors contributing to the development of the aneurysm and symptomatology in patients with a brain tumor are discussed briefly.
