ABSTRACT

Inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare lesion, especially at the level of the central nervous system. Its etiology is unknown and the most accepted hypothesis is that it is the consequence of an exaggerated immune response. We present the clinical case of a young Senegalese male, with a history of epilepsy secondary to severe cranioencephalic trauma in childhood, who presented with new epileptic seizures. Imaging tests showed a lesion in the anterior fossa intimately attached to the meninges, so the initial diagnosis was meningioma. A bifrontal craniotomy and microsurgical excision were performed. The definitive anatomopathological analysis concluded that the lesion is an inflammatory pseudotumor whose origin is secondary to a disproportionate reparative process after cranioencephalic trauma.
