Growth of a Meningioma in a Transsexual Patient after Estrogen–Progestin Therapy
http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/357/23/2411

To the Editor: A 28-year-old male-to-female transsexual patient presented with severe headache and visual disturbances; clinical examination showed visual impairment, with bitemporal inferior visual-field defects, papilledema of the left eye, and optic atrophy of the right eye. The patient was euphoric and confused. Personality changes noted during the previous 4 months had been attributed by family members to the new gender identity of the patient.
