Intratumoral bleeding from a meningioma is very rare. We report a case of a falcine meningioma which presented in association with intratumoral bleeding. 70 years male who presented with history of sudden onset weakness in left upper and lower limb. A computed tomography showed intratumoral bleeding. MRI revealed heterogeneous lesion in right occipital area with intratumoral bleeding. Right occipital craniotomy with tumor and hematoma removal was performed. The histological diagnosis was atypical meningioma with hemorrhage. Meningioma with hemorrhagic onset remains rare, and pathophysiology is still incompletely understood. Prevention and outcome of intratumoral hemorrhage highly depends on early diagnosis and adequate treatment.
