Abstract
The meningiomas are in all probability the brain tumors that have been known longest. Because of the occasional production of grotesque cranial deformities, they had already attracted the interest of doctors and laymen alike even before the advent of classical pathological anatomy. (See also Cushing and Eisenhardt’s monograph, 1938; for example, the case of Kaufmann, Crellius, Heister and Haller.) A series of excellent reports began with that of Louis, followed by Cruveilhier and Rokitansky, and ended with Virchow, who produced the first precise description of the “sarcomas” and “endotheliomas” of the dura, and the “psammomas.”
