Meningioangiomatosis is a rare disease and
tauopathy of the brain. It is characterized by a
benign lesion of the
leptomeninges usually involving the
cerebral cortex, and by leptomeningeal and
meningovascular proliferation.[1] Often the patient will present with
seizures. The disease may be either sporadic or associated with
neurofibromatosis type 2. The lesion is usually focused in one place, though extremely rare multifocal cases have been reported in both adults and children.[2]Biopsy is usually necessary for
diagnosis. Treatment conventionally involves surgical removal of the lesion.
