โฆ Synopsis
We report on a patient with multiple congenital anomalies and ring chromosome 22 who died at age 16 years of bronchopneumonia. Autopsy documented multiple psammomatous meningiomas of the spinal dura and tentorium. n m o r tissue for cytogenetic analysis was not available. Although abnormalities of chromosome 22 in tumor tissue have been reported, to our knowledge, this is only the third report of a constitutional chromosome 22 abnormality associated with the development of meningiomas. Thus, a constitutional chromosome 22 abnormality may predispose to the development of meningiomas.
