The authors present the unique case of a fourth ventricular meningioma associated with a prolactin-secreting pituitary adenoma. The meningioma was resected surgically while the pituitary lesion was controlled medically. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the case report is the possible causal link between the meningioma and elevated prolactin levels. It would have been helpful to know if the meningioma was histochemically positive for prolactin receptors.
