Abstract
We report a case of intracranial hemangiopericytoma of a young male of 22 years who presented with neurological signs of impaired memory, left hemiparesis, headache, and two episodes of focal seizures. A significant history of head trauma 9 years back was given. A space-occupying lesion was identified in the bilateral frontoparietal region. The surgical intervention involved bilateral frontoparietal craniotomy and Simpson Grade II excision of tumor. Postoperative conformal radiotherapy was administered. A marked neurological improvement was subsequently observed. Peak incidence of this disease is in the fourth or fifth decade. However, our case is an exception presenting at an age of 22 years. Associated history of head trauma has only been infrequently reported in the past.
