Abstract
In three patients with intracranial meningioma, several episodes resembling classical transient ischemic attacks caused a significant delay in the correct diagnosis. It seems that this diagnostic ''pitfall'' is not rare. The mechanism of such episodes also known as ''transient tumor attacks'' might be of vascular origin.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
