Intraosseous cavernous hemangiomas of the skull are rare. Meningiomas are quite frequently encountered in a neurosurgical practice. The association between these two entities is nevertheless very uncommon. The authors present a case of a 72-year-old woman suffering from headache. The MRI showed a parietal meningioma with adjacent thick bone. The meningioma and the bone were removed. The histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of meningioma and revealed a cavernoma of the skull. The relationship between the lesions suggests more than a coincidental association. Several hypotheses are proposed to explain common causal connections.
颅骨骨内海绵状血管瘤较为罕见。脑膜瘤在神经外科手术中颇为常见。然而，这两种病变之间的关联却非常罕见。作者报告了一例72岁女性头痛患者。磁共振成像（MRI）显示顶叶脑膜瘤伴相邻骨质增厚。切除了脑膜瘤和骨质。组织学检查证实了脑膜瘤的诊断，并发现颅骨海绵状血管瘤。病变之间的关系表明其并非偶然关联。提出了几种假说来解释共同的因果联系。
