[Late growth of supratentorial meningioma after radiotherapy of cerebellar tumor].

Abstract

The authors report a case of supratentorial meningioma of the brain developing after radiotherapy for cerebellar astrocytoma. On the basis of a survey of the literature and own speculations the authors try to demonstrate a cause-and-effect relationship between radiotherapy and meningioma development.
