A case of meningolacrimal artery aneurysm associated with meningioma

View through CrossRef
Background: Intraorbital aneurysms are rare, and most of them originate from the ophthalmic arteries. Herein, we report a case of meningolacrimal artery aneurysm associated with a meningioma. Case Description: A 55-year-old woman had a frontal convexity meningioma identified by brain magnetic resonance imaging during a checkup. Cerebral angiography revealed the middle meningeal artery as a feeding artery as well as the presence of an aneurysm associated with the meningolacrimal artery. Embolization of the feeding artery was performed before the removal of the meningioma. The meningioma was resected, and the aneurysm was removed with a bone flap. The patient was discharged without any complications. Conclusion: We report a meningolacrimal artery aneurysm associated with a meningioma. Embolizing the feeding artery of the aneurysm was helpful in safely resecting the meningioma.
