Meningeal tumors represent the most common primary central nervous system tumors. The term "multiple meningiomas" or "meningiomatosis" refers to the occurrence of 2 or more spatially separated meningiomas without the features of neurofibromatosis. Meningiomatosis accounts for only less than 10% of all cases and is more prevalent in women. We report a rare case of a 53-year-old female patient complaining of a headache characterized by a throbbing pain in the right side of the head. Neurological examination was largely normal, with the exception of a slight weakening of the right extremity. Multiple brain masses, due to meningiomatosis, were revealed upon CT scan and MRI. Subsequent tissue biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of meningothelial meningiomas.
