Acute Progression of Recurrent Meningioma during Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone Agonist Treatment for Prostate Cancer.

Background: Meningiomas are the most common type of benign brain tumor, and the incidence of meningioma in women is more than twofold higher than in men. Several studies have demonstrated that hormones are somehow related to the growth of meningiomas.

Case Description: A 72-year-old man with benign meningioma underwent tumor resection and had no recurrence for 18 years.

[An aneurysm located at a fenestration of the vertebrobasilar junction successfully treated with Guglielmi detachable coils].

A 35-year-old female developed a subarachnoid hemorrhage from an aneurysm located at the fenestration of the vertebrobasilar (VB) junction. The patient was treated with Guglielmi detachable coils (GDCs). The aneurysm was successfully occluded using 8 coils despite the fact that 2 major complications occurred during the procedure: perforation of the aneurysm with a coil and thrombosis of the parent artery.
