Abstract
The association between carotid artery stenosis and brain meningioma is rather rare. Indeed, data in literature about this association are scarce and potential risks of carotid artery stenting using different protection devices are not known. We describe the endovascular treatment of severe carotid stenosis in two patients with intracranial meningioma.
