Meningioma after contralateral hemispherectomy for malignant glioma: case report.

AUTOR(ES)

Wilson, P J

RESUMO

A patient is described who successfully underwent cerebral hemispherectomy for malignant glioma and whose death nine months later, wrongly ascribed to recurrent malignancy, was in fact due to a subsequently-developing benign meningioma in the remaining hemisphere. The possible advantages of a modification of standard hemispherectomy technique are also discussed.
