Intracranial Meningioma-induced Parkinsonism
نویسندگان
چکیده
An intracranial tumor is a rare cause of secondary parkinsonism. Our patient presented to our clinic for recently-developed asymmetric parkinsonism without pyramidal signs. However, a meningioma located in the sphenoidal ridge was identified upon imaging studies. This case suggests that additional causes should be considered when approaching patients with parkinsonism and that imaging studies can provide useful information to make accurate diagnoses.

A 71-year-old man presented with a 6-month history of rest tremor and slowness in his left hand. Apart frommild left parkinsonism, neurologic examination was unremarkable. Because response to L-dopa, up to 600 mg/d, was lacking, [I]FP-CIT (I-N-v-fluoropropyl-2bcarbomethoxy-3b-[4-iodophenyl]nortropane) SPECT was prescribed with unexpected results: transverse and coronal slices showed the right s...

Introduction: Meningioma is a benign and slowly-growing tumor that is responsible for 20% of brain neoplasms. It can be accompanied by some genetic disorders such as neurofibromatosis type 2 and is more common among women. As a space occupying lesion, it produces a wide range of signs and symptoms by compressing the adjacent and underlying tissues in the brain. Trauma and vi...

We reported a 71 years old woman, with history of rest and postural tremor, bradykinesia and memory problems. In her dynamic MRI, a contrastenhanced tumor in the cerebellopontine (CP) angle was found which was compatible with a meningioma. 99mTc-TRODAT SPECT showed decreased activity in the left putamen, indicating idiopathic Parkinson disease. There was also a focus of increased activity on th...
