We reported the first case of a lipomatous meningioma presenting with a migraine with a visual aura. Seizures and headaches can be included as possible symptoms. According to the current literature, lipomatous meningiomas affect women more commonly than men. The patient of our reported case presented visual disturbances in the form of a visual aura, which occurred 10 years before finding the meningioma, and surgery dramatically improved the symptoms and quality of life.
