| Abstrakt: | A woman in her late 50s with a left frontal lobe convexity meningioma underwent an elective endovascular embolisation of the left middle meningeal artery and distal branches of the left superficial temporal artery prior to surgical resection of the tumour. On postoperative day 46, she developed scalp necrosis, leading to poor wound healing requiring wound debridement and a complex plastic surgery reconstruction with a rotational flap. Endovascular embolisation of vascular tumours prior to surgical resection does not come without risks. The lack of consistency in the literature regarding indication, technique and outcomes makes it difficult to define the exact role of preoperative meningioma embolisation.
