Abstract

The authors present four patients with a history of high dose cranial irradiation, who were diagnosed years later to have symptomatic meningiomas requiring surgical management. Relevant literature pertaining to these rare tumours is reviewed and their unusual characteristics highlighted. Their aetio-pathogenesis and management strategies are discussed.
