Spinal meningiomas are common in older females, presenting with weakness and pain. Early diagnosis with MRI and microsurgery improve outcomes for these tumors, which have a low recurrence rate.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology
  • Spinal Cord Tumors

Context:

  • Spinal meningiomas represent a significant portion of intraspinal neoplasms.
  • These tumors predominantly affect the female population, particularly those in older age groups.

Purpose:

  • To retrospectively analyze the clinical characteristics, surgical outcomes, and prognostic factors of spinal meningiomas.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of diagnostic and surgical techniques in managing spinal meningiomas.

Summary:

  • This study reviewed 37 cases of spinal meningioma operated between 1982 and 1998.
  • The tumors were most prevalent in females aged 50-70, commonly presenting with weakness and thoracic pain.
  • Laminectomy with total tumor removal was achieved in all cases, with a low recurrence rate observed.

Impact:

  • Highlights the importance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for early and accurate diagnosis.
  • Emphasizes the role of microsurgical techniques in achieving successful surgical resection and improving patient outcomes.
  • Contributes to understanding the epidemiology and management of spinal meningiomas.
