A 50-year-old female patient was admitted to a county hospital after an accident due to a first-time generalised seizure with anterograde amnesia. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a parasagittal convexity lesion in the right frontal lobe. The patient received antiepileptic medication and was referred to our university hospital for surgery. A right frontal craniotomy for microsurgical tumour resection was performed. The oval-shaped tumour with the diameter of about 25 mm was adherent to convexity dura, possessed a solid consistency with own capsule and well-defined arachnoid border to surrounding frontal cortex. Macroscopically the tumours seemed compatible with the diagnosis of a convexity meningioma. After excision of affected convexity dura, a complete microsurgical resection of lesion could be achieved. Postoperatively, the patient had no neurological deficit and no seizures under continued antiepileptic medication. After proper recovery she was discharged. A routine ambulatory check-up 2 months after surgery revealed no new clinical complaints; in the absence of seizures the antiepileptic medication was reduced. …
