Familial meningiomas. Report of two cases

L Ferrante et al. J Neurosurg Sci. 1987 Jul-Sep.

Abstract

The Authors report a case of intracranial meningioma in two sisters, with no evidence of neurofibromatosis. A study of the karyotype has been performed; in one patient we have found a pericentric inversion of one chromosome 9. The possible role of the genetical factors in the develop of familial meningiomas is discussed.
