Abstract
- We report a rare case of meningioangiomatosis in a 22 year-old man who has refractory partial seizures. Seven of 11 seizures had ictal onset zone at the perilesional medial and orbitofrontal areas of frontal lobe and 4 seizures arose from the mesial temporal area. After having lesion resection and an anterior temporal lobectomy with amygdalohippocam-pectomy, the patient no longer suffered from seizures. The epileptogenic foci were found not only in the intra-/peri-lesional area but also in remote area.
