Abstract
An unusual association of multiple meningiomas and intracranial aneurysm with atherosclerotic ectatic changes of the cerebral arteries has been observed in 2 young women with progressive visual loss. The relationship of these abnormalities to each other may be coincidental; however, a dysgenetic defect cannot be excluded. The occurrence of atherosclerosis in young women is not only decidedly uncommon, but also certainly abnormal, and with these other lesions creates a peculiar syndrome. Von Recklinghausen’s neurofibromatosis could not be established in either patient.
