N2  - The case of a 41-year-old pregnant woman is reported who was found dead in her apartment 5 months after she had suffered a severe head injury due to a car accident. An autopsy, a meningioma (4 cm in diameter) was found localized in the right parieto-temporal region which had probably caused an epileptic seizure leading to central dysfunction and to death. The criteria concerning the diagnosis of a traumatic meningioma are discussed. In the present case, a causal connection between a former head trauma and the development of the tumor had to be refuted.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
