ABSTRACT
Posterior fossa meningiomas represent 10% in relation to the other sites where they may be located. These lesions can compromise cerebrospinal fluid circulation. We present a 67-year-old female patient with a previous history of walking disorders, observing walking difficulty with 15 days of evolution. Diagnosis was made by a tomography of the space-occupying lesion located in the posterior fossa. The patient underwent surgery and subsequently developed acute non-communicating hydrocephalus, for which a ventricle-peritoneal shunt was performed. No other complications were associated with surgical intervention.REFERENCES
