Abstract

The association in the same patient between two meningiomas and an astrocytoma of the third ventricle is presented. All tumors were removed in two surgical sessions. The unusual occurrence of such associations, except for the so-called phakomatoses, is emphasized. Other similar cases drawn from the literature are tabled.
