Abstract

Coexsiting different pathology brain neoplasm are quite rare in neurosurgery. However occasionally we come across such cases. This case is a female presenting with seizures and headache. Imaging revealed falcine meningioma and left frontal glioma. Single surgery for both lesions was unique and later histopathology confirmed the lesions. Postoperative period was uneventful. Patient was referred to radiotherapy for glioma. Patient is being followed up in OPD and is doing well.
