Angiomatosis of meninges

Last edited: 4/15/2026

Overview

Meningioangiomatosis is a rare, complex disorder characterized by the presence of blood vessels and glioneural elements within the meninges, often leading to chronic meningitis and focal neurological deficits 1.

Diagnosis

  • Imaging findings may include characteristic lesions in the meninges with associated brain parenchymal involvement 1.
  • Histopathologic examination is crucial for definitive diagnosis, showing a combination of angiomatous and dysplastic neural tissue 1.
  • No specific grading system universally accepted; diagnosis heavily relies on clinical, radiologic, and pathologic correlation 1.

    • Management

  • First-line treatment typically involves corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms 1.
  • Adjunctive therapies may include anticonvulsants for seizure control and symptomatic management 1.
  • Specific drug classes and doses are not detailed in the provided abstract 1.

    • Special Populations

  • No specific information provided regarding pregnancy, pediatrics, elderly, or comorbidities in the given abstract 1.

    • Key Recommendations

  • Definitive diagnosis requires histopathologic examination alongside clinical and imaging findings (Evidence: Expert opinion 1).
  • Corticosteroids are recommended for managing inflammation and associated symptoms (Evidence: Expert opinion 1).
  • Adjunctive therapies should be tailored to individual patient symptoms, particularly focusing on seizure control (Evidence: Expert opinion 1).
