ABSTRACT
Meningioma is the third most common intracranial tumor and different from meningiomatosis and multiple meningiomas. Multiple meningiomas without the stigma of Von Recklinghausen's disease are rare. The incidence of multiple meningiomas has been reported in 1-8.9% of all intracranial meningiomas. Although the pathogenic factors related to the multiple meningiomas are unknown, various theories have been studied and reported. The authors report two cases with multiple meningiomas without evidence of the Von Recklinghausen's diseases treated successfully by staged operation. The clinical, radiological and histopathological features of these lesions are discussed.
