Abstract
The case of a 42-year-old homeless, previously high-functioning woman is presented. Over the course of 1 year she developed headache, visual loss, visual hallucinations and personality change that were attributed by several medical services to conversion disorder or malingering. When admitted to the psychiatry service a large frontal meningioma was diagnosed. Psychiatric and neurologic signs and symptoms of brain tumors, as well as indicators of psychiatric presentations of organic disease, are discussed.
