Abstract
We report the case of a 62-year-old male presenting with progressive gait disturbances, recurrent syncope, and episodes of myoclonic epilepsy over three months, with underlying sporadic Pick's disease diagnosed clinically. Imaging revealed a well-defined, extra-axial tumor in the right parietal region, consistent with a meningioma. Surgical intervention using neuronavigation technology facilitated a complete tumor resection. The patient's postoperative course was stable, with a resolution of syncope and improvement in gait. This case underscores the importance of interdisciplinary management in patients with overlapping neurological conditions and highlights the challenges posed by multifaceted clinical presentations.
