Abstract

We present a case of Werner's syndrome associated with intracranial meningioma and a cerebrovascular disorder. A 49-year-old male was transferred to this hospital with a head injury as a result of a car accident, and a CT scan revealed a traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. The patient displayed the characteristic clinical features of Werner's syndrome, including premature senility, juvenile cataract, atrophic skin, and a tendency to ward familial occurrence was present. MRI and cerebral angiography revealed multiple intracerebral hemorrhages, perhaps due to amyloid angiopathy, multiple lacunar infarctions and parasagittal meningioma. This is the first report on the MRI findings in the brain of a patient with Werner's syndrome. We suspect that of Werner's syndrome also shows evidence of premature aging on MR images.
