A 69-year-old woman was admitted because of status epilepticus. Her medical history revealed mental and motor deterioration during the last 9 years. She suffered from transient ischaemic attacks and probably focal complex partial seizures. CT scans showed progressive calcification not only of the meninges but also of the brain. She died due to pulmonary embolism. Autopsy revealed extensive calcification of the meninges and the brain, as well as multiple conglomerates of atypical, mainly venous, blood vessels. Calcification was seen inside, outside and in the wall of the vessels. Clinical, radiological and histopathological symptoms are most consistent with meningioangiomatosis. The differential diagnosis of brain calcifications is discussed.
