Abstract

We report one case of radio-induced meningiomas revealed by an intracranial hypertension in an 46 year-old woman. A history of cephalic irradiation during infancy for a vascular nevus, not spontaneously reported by the patient, had been discovered because of the association with a radio-induced cataract. Meningiomas are a rare, severe and late complication of cephalic radiotherapy. The history of irradiation is not always spontaneously reported by the patient.
