Meningiomas are the most prevalent tumors within the central nervous system, with most exhibiting benign characteristics. While they are often discovered incidentally, their growth can lead to symptoms such as headaches, visual changes, dizziness, and seizures. Intratumoral hemorrhage (ITH) within meningiomas is a rare occurrence. This phenomenon carries a poor prognosis, as evidenced by significant rates of morbidity and mortality. This case report describes a unique case of a 52-year-old male who experienced a spontaneous right parietal lobe intracerebral hemorrhage adjacent to the superior sagittal sinus. Subsequent investigations revealed this to be an ITH due to an underlying WHO-grade I meningioma. This case emphasizes that while ITH in meningiomas is rare, prompt recognition and surgical intervention ensure optimal patient outcomes.
脑膜瘤是中枢神经系统中最常见的肿瘤,大多数表现为良性特征。虽然它们常常是偶然发现的,但肿瘤生长可导致头痛、视力变化、头晕和癫痫发作等症状。脑膜瘤内的瘤内出血(ITH)是一种罕见情况。这种现象预后较差,发病率和死亡率很高就是证明。本病例报告描述了一例独特病例,一名52岁男性,在矢状窦旁出现自发性右顶叶脑出血。后续检查发现这是由潜在的世界卫生组织一级脑膜瘤引起的瘤内出血。该病例强调,虽然脑膜瘤内的瘤内出血罕见,但及时识别和手术干预可确保患者获得最佳治疗效果。
