Abstract

DONOSO-ESTEBAN, Irene et al. Meningoangiomatosis: about a case review of findings in neuroimaging. JONNPR [online]. 2021, vol.6, n.10, pp.1279-1288.  Epub Jan 23, 2023. ISSN 2529-850X.  https://dx.doi.org/10.19230/jonnpr.4174.

Meningoangiomatosis is a rare and benign intracranial affectation, affecting mainly leptomeninges and the underlying cerebral cortex, being more frequent in children and young adults. Although most of the cases are presented in an isolated way, it has been described its association with syndromes such as neurofibromatosis type 2, these last ones more frequently asymptomatic and with good pharmacological response; however, the sporadic presentations present a wide clinical spectrum, ranging from chronic headaches to refractory convulsive crisis, even being associated to intracranial lesions such as meningiomas.

In this article we present our experience with a young patient who debuted with an episode of focal motor epileptic seizure with generalized tonic-clonic evolution and good response to antiepileptic treatment.

Given the high unspecificity associated with this pathology, both clinical and radiological, our aim is to synthesize the radiological findings that allow us the diagnostic approach of this entity in clinically compatible patients.
