Notes:
Summary Although meningiomas are of benign character and generally of encapsulated growth, recurrence is a known problem in treatment. The authors present the time course of a recurrent parasagittal meningioma of the falx, which recurred eleven times. Despite modern radiological diagnostic methods, which made early diagnosis of recurrent tumour possible, and the use of modern microsurgical techniques with radical tumour extirpation and followed by radiotherapy, the fatal course of benign tumour disease could not be stopped.
