Abstract

Lipomatous meningioma is a rare type of meningioma that is formed as the result of an accumulation of lipids inside the cell due to metabolic activity dysregulation. It differs from other types of meningiomas in its radiological and immunohistochemical characteristics. We report a rare case of a patient treated in our department for this particular type of meningioma who developed a type of migraine with the aura component as the first clinical symptom.
