Abstract

Two cases of association between intracranial meningioma and cerebral artery aneurysm are reported. A 50-year-old woman had a petroclival meningioma with a carotid-ophthalmic artery aneurysm; the surgery was performed first for the aneurysm then for the meningioma with good results. The second patient, a 67-year-old woman, had an olfactory meningioma with a carotid-posterior communicating artery aneurysm treated successfully in the same procedure. The pertinent literature is reviewed and the localization of meningiomas and aneurysms, the surgical treatment and the results at distance are discussed. It seems advisable, when possible, the contemporaneous treatment of the two lesions.
