Abstract
We report the case of a 37 year old female patient who had got high-dose irradiation after subtotal removal of an ependymoma in posterior cerebral fossa. 16 years later a temporal meningioma is diagnosed and removed surgically. In this case the following meningioma fulfills the criteria for a radiation-induced tumor. There exist many reports about tumors of the central nervous system which have developed after radiotherapy in the irradiated field after a latency period. But after a thorough review of the international literature about radiation-induced tumors of the CNS is this the five cases in which a benign meningioma has followed a radiotherapy for an ependymoma.
Keywords: meningioma, radiotherapy and ependymoma of the posterior cerebral fossa.
