Ischaemic stroke with partial haemorrhagic transformation related to a small-sized tuberculum sellae meningioma.

Intracranial tumours compress and dislocate surrounding blood vessels, which leads to reduced cerebral blood flow. These compressions of the vasculature can become symptomatic through an ischaemic stroke. In patients with benign meningioma, an ischaemic lesion can also occur suddenly To our knowledge, no previous reports have described an acute ischaemic stroke and partial reperfusion haemorrhage in a single region, both related to a small-sized tuberculum sellae meningioma.
