Abstract
Meningiomas are tumors which arise from arachnoid cells and can occur both in the brain and spinal cord. Meningiomas can present with psychiatric symptoms (such as depression, anxiety disorders, or personality changes) in the absence of any neurologic signs or symptoms. Literature review also shows few cases of postpartum depression seen in association with Frontal Lobe Meningiomas. Authors in this article present a unique case of Right Temporal Lobe Meningioma in a patient, who presented with chief complaint of postpartum depression. This presentation has never been reported to date. Routine use of neuroimaging in the evaluation of new onset psychiatric disorders has always been controversial but this case clearly underscores the value of a detailed history, careful physical examination, and consideration of other diagnostic studies in patients presenting for psychiatric evaluation. This case also provides an opportunity for clinical departments to improve and redefine its protocols and management strategies.
