Abstract
Middle meningeal artery aneurysm associated with meningioma is extremely rare, and only two cases have previously been reported. In our case, a 72-year-old woman with convexity meningioma underwent preoperative cerebral angiography, which revealed a flow-related aneurysm on the middle meningeal artery. Embolization of the aneurysm was performed with N-butycyanoacrylate glue, and complete obliteration was confirmed under craniotomy. In order to eliminate the risk of preoperative rupture resulting in intracranial hemorrhage, endovascular embolization with liquid glue is safe and effective for this kind of aneurysm.
