RESUMEN
Los meningiomas son tumoraciones eminentemente benignas procedentes de las meninges, correspondiendo al 15-25% de las tumoraciones intracraneales en el adulto, cuya expresividad clínica viene representada por la compresión de estructuras vecinas quedando representada predominantemente por cefalea, alteraciones del comportamiento, y déficit neurológicos. Presentamos un caso donde el cuadro constitucional constituye la primera y principal manifestación de un meningioma intracraneal pontocerebeloso (AU)
