Abstract
Parasagittal or falx meningioma occasionally causes paroxysmal speech disturbance. A 22-year-old and a 46-year-old female harboring meningiomas suffered recurrent episodes of supplementary motor seizures. Magnetic resonance imaging showed the meningioma compressing the left supplementary motor area. Seizures did not recur after total removal of the tumors.
