Presentation
This case concerns a 46-year-old female patient who presented with sudden onset of headache. [medsci.org]
Most intraventricular meningiomas present between the 3rd and 6th decades 3,6 with a recognized female predilection (M:F ratio of 1:2) 4,6,7. They are rare in childhood 7. [radiopaedia.org]
However, The clinical presentation of spontaneous hemorrhage in benign tumors is rare. Lateral ventricular meningiomas presenting with intraventricular hemorrhage are extremely rare. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The aim of the present study was to provide additional data for this rare meningioma variant. [spandidos-publications.com]
The imaging findings and pathological features are presented in Table 2. [dovepress.com]
Entire Body System
- Asymptomatic
We frequently found small ventricular tumors as incidentally asymptomatic tumor. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Besides this, 10 asymptomatic patients accounted for 5.1% of all patients. The median preoperative KPS score was 90 (range 20–100). [dovepress.com]
- Surgical Procedure
Result Patient Population During the 11 years of study research (2009–2020), a total of 7202 meningioma patients underwent surgical procedures in West China Hospital, including 195 cases (59 male and 136 female) of LVM. [dovepress.com]
Gastrointestinal
- Vomiting
CASE REPORT A 35-year-old female visited emergency department for a sudden onset of headache and vomiting followed by altered sensorium after management for abortion at local department of obstetrics. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cardiovascular
- Hypertension
Neurological examination, laboratory tests and other systemic evaluations (i.e., surgical and medical examination of the whole body) revealed no abnormalities, with the exception of hypertension. [spandidos-publications.com]
She recovered well after sedative treatment at intensive care unit to control refractory intracranial hypertension. Left homonymous hemianopsia was developed after surgery and did not resolve during follow up period. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
- Headache
She was recovered to alert mentality with intermittent headache by medical treatment for increased intracranial pressure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Case reports Case 1 Patient history A 48-year-old female presented with a chronic headache and vertigo that had persisted over a period of 2 months, but had progressively worsened in the last 10 days. [spandidos-publications.com]
This case concerns a 46-year-old female patient who presented with sudden onset of headache. [medsci.org]
Most patients visit the hospital because of persistent headaches or vision problems. This may be due to the anatomy of the lateral ventricle and the mass effect, which also leads to a longer pre-hospital course. [dovepress.com]
- Memory Impairment
However, they often present with chronic increased intracranial pressure, visual field defects, ataxia, and memory impairment as they grow larger [3,4]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
As they grow larger, however, they often present with chronic elevation of intracranial pressure, visual field defects, ataxia, memory impairment, and limb weakness [3-6]. [medsci.org]
- Dizziness
Meningiomas are most often slow-growing tumors and usually present with symptoms such as headache, dizziness, seizures, and gradually progressing neurologic deficits when the tumor is large. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The median duration of symptoms prior to admission was 60 months (range 0–123), including headache and dizziness (n=122, 68.2%), visual impairment (n=16, 8.2%), movement disorders (n=11, 11.6%), epilepsy (n=11, 11.6%) and others like memory loss, numbness [dovepress.com]
- Stupor
Her neurological status deteriorated to stupor and contralateral hemiparesis during planned preoperative workup. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Vertigo
Case reports Case 1 Patient history A 48-year-old female presented with a chronic headache and vertigo that had persisted over a period of 2 months, but had progressively worsened in the last 10 days. [spandidos-publications.com]
Workup
Her neurological status deteriorated to stupor and contralateral hemiparesis during planned preoperative workup. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Treatment and prognosis As is the case with other meningiomas, provided complete excision is possible, surgical excision is curative and therefore the treatment of choice. Recurrence rate following resection is fairly low, ~5% 7. [radiopaedia.org]
The two patients underwent surgical treatment and histological examination confirmed one case of metaplastic meningioma and the other case of psammomatous meningioma. [spandidos-publications.com]
Eight patients had received previous tumor-related treatment before enrolment (surgery in 1 patient, radiation in 6 patients and surgery followed by radiation treatment in 2 patients). [dovepress.com]
She was recovered to alert mentality with intermittent headache by medical treatment for increased intracranial pressure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Optimization of stereotactic radiotherapy treatment delivery technique for a base-of-skull meningioma's. [revistas.unimilitar.edu.co]
Prognosis
Treatment and prognosis As is the case with other meningiomas, provided complete excision is possible, surgical excision is curative and therefore the treatment of choice. Recurrence rate following resection is fairly low, ~5% 7. [radiopaedia.org]
This study investigated the epidemiology, clinical characteristics and prognosis of LVM and comprehensively describes its characteristics. [dovepress.com]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiological mechanisms of peritumoral cysts may be caused by loculated widened subarachnoid space, edema of the surrounding brain, demyelination or hemorrhaging near the tumor, while intratumoral cysts are the outcome of cystic degeneration, ischemic [spandidos-publications.com]
Prevention
[…] the available literature, for those where further increases in tumor size or associated edema could be associated with significant morbidity or even mortality, surgical or radiosurgical therapy should be carefully discussed before getting pregnant to prevent [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
