Chronic Cephalalgia-Parkinsonism Complex Revealing a Meningioma in a Young Patient: A Case Report.

The emergence of parkinsonism in a patient with an intracranial meningioma is indeed an uncommon occurrence. Here, we detail the case of a patient experiencing parkinsonian syndrome for four years without any observable clinical improvement following medical treatment. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed a left intracranial meningioma. The successful complete surgical removal of the tumor led to the resolution of parkinsonian syndrome. The extent of the neoplasm and the surrounding peritumoral edema could potentially exert significant pressure, thereby compromising perfusion in the basal ganglia region. This clinical case serves as an exemplar, emphasizing the criticality of identifying specific red flags that necessitate further clinical investigations in the context of parkinsonian syndrome.
