Intracranial Meningioma-induced Parkinsonism

An intracranial tumor is a rare cause of secondary parkinsonism. Our patient presented to our clinic for recently-developed asymmetric parkinsonism without pyramidal signs. However, a meningioma located in the sphenoidal ridge was identified upon imaging studies. This case suggests that additional c...

However, a meningioma located in the sphenoidal ridge was identified upon imaging studies. This case suggests that additional causes should be considered when approaching patients with parkinsonism and that imaging studies can provide useful information to make accurate diagnoses.
