A 53-year-old woman with a history of craniotomy and clipping of a left supraclinoid internal carotid artery aneurysm nine years prior and breast cancer in remission presented who was referred to a neurological surgery clinic for evaluation of a suspected brain aneurysm. Further workup with catheter angiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ultimately revealed a dural-based lesion at the site of the prior craniotomy. The patient underwent surgical resection and pathology confirmed the diagnosis of a low-grade glioma. This case highlights the importance of thorough evaluation and monitoring for patients with a history of intracranial pathology, as meningiomas may develop at the site of prior surgeries.
